Experimental Warming Effects on Soil Respiration, Microbial Abundance, and Extracellular Enzyme Activities in a Switchgrass Cropland in Middle Tennessee

ABSTRACT Global warming is projected to accelerate soil carbon (C) loss to the atmosphere. However, soil CO2 emissions under warming and the underlying microbial processes are not adequately studied in bioenergy croplands. To address this issue, a soil warming experiment was established in a switchg...
