REVIEW: Time lag between photosynthesis and carbon dioxide efflux from soil: a review of mechanisms and controls (2010, background): “For grasslands, fewer studies have concentrated on the response of single components of CO2 efflux (root and microbial respiration) to clipping (Craine et al., 1999; Bahn et al., 2006; Zhou et al., 2007).”
Plant clipping decelerates the mineralization of recalcitrant soil organic matter under multiple grassland species (2012, background): “For example, it has been reported that mowing reduces total soil CO2 efflux (CO2 as a result of root respiration and mineralization of plant litter and recalcitrant SOM) by 20e50% despite mowing-induced increases in soil temperature (Bremer et al., 1998; Wan and Luo, 2003; Bahn et al., 2006).”
Linkages of plant traits to soil properties and the functioning of temperate grassland (2010, background): “…associated with a higher root biomass (albeit weakly) and with soils with highMCs and a high microbial biomass, all of which can have an impact on C-related process rates (van der Krift et al. 2001; Chapin 2003; Scott-Denton, Sparks & Monson 2003; Bahn et al. 2006; Bardgett, Freeman & Ostle 2008).”
