Herbivores regulate the sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition to warming
There is considerable interest in how the sensitivity of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition to warming is determined by the degree of recalcitrance (i.e., quality) of SOC. Although herbivores have widespread effects on the quality of plant litter, from which SOC is derived, herbivores are seldo...
