Effects of plant productivity and species richness on the drought response of soil respiration in temperate grasslands.
Soil respiration plays a crucial role in global carbon cycling. While the response of soil respiration to abiotic drivers like soil temperature and moisture is fairly well understood, less is known about the effects of biotic drivers, such as plant above- and belowground productivity or plant divers...
