Fig. 1

Mean (± SE, n = 5) microbial (a) growth (G; µg C g-1 soil dry mass h-1); (b) respiration (R; µg C g-1 soil dry mass h-1); (c) organic C uptake (U; µg C g-1 soil dry mass h-1); (d) carbon use efficiency (CUE; %); (e) mass-specific growth (Gm; mg C g-1 Cmic h-1); (f) mass-specific respiration (Rm; mg C g-1 Cmic h-1); (g) mass-specific organic C uptake (Um; mg C g-1 Cmic h-1); and (h) turnover (Tm; d-1) at ambient temperature (A; grey; 11 ºC) or after at least 50 years of warming (+ 0.5 to 6 ºC; white). Asterisks indicate significant differences (P < 0.05) between ambient and warmed temperatures.
