“…Recently, the response of Q 10 to increased N input has generated increasing concern with respect to global warming and increasing N deposition scenarios, and some experiments at individual sites have been conducted (e.g., Coucheney, Strömgren, Lerch, & Herrmann, 2013; Mo et al, 2008; Wang, Liu, Wang, Tian, & Sun, 2018). However, no consensus on the effects of increased N input on Q 10 has been achieved (e.g., Hasselquist, Metcalfe, & Högberg, 2012; Li, Liu, Wu, Niu, & Tian, 2015; Wang, Liu, Wang, et al, 2018; Zang et al, 2020); this is partially attributed to differences in incubation methods and site characteristics such as climate and soil property. These individual studies conducted at specific sites are useful, but inconsistencies in incubation methods and site characteristics limit our ability to make robust generalizations of how Q 10 responds to elevated N input across broad geographic scales.…”
