Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed species-rich grasslands

Plant-soil interactions are central to short-term carbon (C) cycling through the rapid transfer of recently assimilated C from plant roots to soil biota. In grassland ecosystems, changes in C cycling are likely to be influenced by land use and management that changes vegetation and the associated so...
