“…Apart from the increases in plant growth that resulted from the exclusion of livestock grazing, GE‐induced changes in PFTs' biomass also may lead to higher R agb (Figure ). Indeed, it can be seen that these two variables are often related because changes in PFTs can be associated with the increased AGB (Figure S3) (Chen, Luo, Xia, Wilcox, et al, ; Májeková et al, ). Changes of this nature can increase plant growth respiration and plant maintenance respiration (Heskel et al, ; Luo, ; Pilkington et al, ), especially during the early stages of GE (Renou‐Wilson, Muller, Moser, & Wilson, ).…”
