Plant communities as drivers of soil respiration: pathways, mechanisms, and significance for global change
Understanding the impacts of plant community characteristics on soil carbon dioxide efflux (<i>R</i>) is a key prerequisite for accurate prediction of the future carbon (C) balance of terrestrial ecosystems under climate change. However, developing a mechanistic understan...
