The soil microbiome governs the response of microbial respiration to warming across the globe

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 December 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01868-1

The authors use experimental data from 332 sites across all major global biomes to evaluate the drivers of soil microbial respiration response to warming. They demonstrate a key role of the soil microbiome, highlighting the need to account for this in assessments of soil respiration under change.
