“…Interpretation of changes in total soil respiration is challenging whenever major changes in vegetation composition occur as well, since those may affect root production and the proportion of autotrophic root respiration. Overall, the effects of WA fertilization on GHG emission or uptake appears to be dependent on soil water content, soil silt content, soil pH, fertilization addition rate, and the time since fertilization (Brumme and Beese, 1992;Håkansson et al, 2021;Jassal et al, 2011;Siljanen et al, 2020;Sitaula et al, 1995;Xia et al, 2020).…”
