Annual Removal of Aboveground Plant Biomass Alters Soil Microbial Responses to Warming

Annual Removal of Aboveground Plant Biomass Alters Soil Microbial Responses to Warming

Clipping (i.e., harvesting aboveground plant biomass) is common in agriculture and for bioenergy production. However, microbial responses to clipping in the context of climate warming are poorly understood. We investigated the interactive effects of grassland warming and clipping on soil properties...
