Description
In a greenhouse experiment, we grew maize plants at different densities. We added fertilizer to half of the pots and created a temperature gradient. After 10 weeks of plant growth, we measured soil CO2 efflux (SCE) and determined rhizosphere respiration (Rrhizo) and the decomposition rate of soil organic matter (RSOM) using the different δ13C of the C3 soil and C4 plants. Whereas Rrhizo remained stable across the temperature gradient, RSOM significantly increased with growth temperature....[Show more]
