Fig. 5. Warming effects on soil carbon release and stability.

Fig. 5

a Rate of soil heterotrophic respiration (Rh) during growing season in 2020. b Proportion of mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) to total soil organic carbon in topsoil. Dots on the left of the violin represent the corresponding data from control (blue) or warming (yellow) condition. White circle within the violin shows the mean value, and the error bar denotes SD (n = 10, independent samples). Paired samples t-tests (two-sided) were used to compare means of Rh and MAOC between the warming and control treatments. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
