Summary:
In the only study of its' kind, soil in England & Wales are losing large amounts of carbon, likely due to rising climate temperatures and possibly contributing to the greenhouse effect.
The study published in Nature found that the British soil is losing 13 million tons of carbon dioxide per year and that it is likely that the same trend is affecting other countries as well.
Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide while human activity and soils put more into the atmosphere and the rate of output is exceeding the rate of input.
Comment: Past research predicted this to happen in from 10-50 years, but it is currently happening in England & Wales, the location of the only long-term study of its' kind which began in 1978.
