Fig. 2 — Direct (dashed arrows) and indirect (dotted arrows) effects of LBR-induced changes in microclimate on terrestrial C cycling and feedbacks to global change (solid arrows). Direct effects include the influence of temperature, soil moisture and radiation on plant community composition and productivity, and on soil microbial activity. Indirect effects result from changes in the soil microbial community caused by alteration of soil physico-chemical conditions and C inputs to the soil, mediated through changes in plant community composition and productivity.
