Short summary
It is known that Earth system models have challenges to predict correct levels of soil carbon stocks. Quantification of those stocks is a prerequisite for reliable prediction of future carbon exchange between biosphere and atmosphere. Here, we tested Yasso07 and ROMULv soil carbon models against empirical data from Finland. We found that both the role of understorey vegetation and the impact of drought to decomposition should be incorporated into soil models to have realistic soil carbon stocks.
