“…An interesting question arises: why was the change in the community CAR relatively minor for the MCAR pattern compared with the LCAR pattern ( Figure 1e)? First, despite the increase in AMP that stimulated plant growth (Figure 4b) and carbon uptake (Niu et al, 2008), the significantly negative linkage between the AMT and CAR to support plant carbon accumulation (Jiao, Shi, Han, & Yuan, 2016;Melillo et al, 2002), with MMPs of 17.80 and 22.87 mm (Supporting Information Figure 1a,b), respectively.
