Temperature responsiveness of soil carbon fractions, microbes, extracellular enzymes and CO₂ emission: mitigating role of texture.

ABSTRACT: The interaction of warming and soil texture on responsiveness of the key soil processes i.e. organic carbon (C) fractions, soil microbes, extracellular enzymes and CO₂ emissions remains largely unknown. Global warming raises the relevant question of how different soil processes will respond in near future, and what will be the likely regulatory role of texture? To bridge this gap, this work applied the laboratory incubation method to investigate the effects of temperature changes (10-50 °C) on dynamics of labile, recalcitrant and stable C fractions, soil microbes, microbial biomass, activities of extracellular enzymes and CO₂ emissions in sandy and clayey textured soils. The role of texture (sandy and clayey) in the mitigation of temperature effect was also inv
