Effects of substrate addition on soil respiratory carbon release under long-term warming and clipping in a tallgrass prairie.

Regulatory mechanisms of soil respiratory carbon (C) release induced by substrates (i.e., plant derived substrates) are critical for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change, but the mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we sampled soils from a long-term field manipulative exper...
