The present paper presents a mathematical analysis of a tipping point or runaway feedback that can arise when the heat from microbial respiration is generated more rapidly than it can escape from the soil to the atmosphere.

Models with and without the extra self - heating from microbial respiration have been shown to yield significantly different results.
