The temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition is greater in subsoil than in topsoil during laboratory incubation
Abstract The turnover of soil organic carbon (SOC) in cropland plays an important role in terrestrial carbon cycling, but little is known about the temperature sensitivity (Q 10) of SOC decomposition below the topsoil layer of arable soil. Here, samples of topsoil (0–20 cm) and subsoil (20–40 cm) la...
