Evans, S., Allison, S., & Hawkes, C. (2022, March 20). FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY.
author keywords: carbon; drought; legacy; microbial communities; modelling; rainfall; respiration; soil
TL;DR:
Soil moisture is a major driver of microbial activity and thus, of the release of carbon into the Earth's atmosphere, and models assume that the response to moisture response functions are a poorly constrained aspect of C models.
