Root respiration in temperate mountain grasslands differing in land use (2006, background): “It was expected that (1) across sites there would be a general, positive relationship between root N concentration and specific root respiration; (2) with increasing root dia- meter root N concentration, respiration and its Q10 would decrease; (3) abandonment of managed grasslands would lead to lowe”
