Temperature sensitivity of microbial respiration of fine root litter in a temperate broad-leaved forest.

The microbial decomposition respiration of plant litter generates a major CO2 efflux from terrestrial ecosystems that plays a critical role in the regulation of carbon cycling on regional and global scales. However, the respiration from root litter decomposition and its sensitivity to temperature ch...
