Precipitation regime shift enhanced the rain pulse effect on soil respiration in a semi-arid steppe.
The effect of resource pulses, such as rainfall events, on soil respiration plays an important role in controlling grassland carbon balance, but how shifts in long-term precipitation regime regulate rain pulse effect on soil respiration is still unclear. We first quantified the influence of rainfall...
