Fig 4. Extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) ratios of recalcitrant to non-recalcitrant C on litter retrieved at 12 months.

Fig 4

Recalcitrant enzyme activity is polyphenol oxidase, while non-recalcitrant enzymes are the sum of cellobiohydrolase, β-xylosidase, and β-glucosidase. Warming significantly increased the ratio of recalcitrant C decay enzymes to non-recalcitrant C decay enzymes (P = 0.002). Activities were measured in units of nmol h-1 g-1 dry litter. Data are means ± SE, with n = 5 plots.
