Abstract

Highlights: [•] Contributions of aboveground litter and roots to total soil CO2 efflux were similar. [•] Litter addition and root trenching reduced effect of soil moisture on respiration. [•] C input manipulation altered the composition of soil microbial community. [•] Root inputs exerted more impact on the soil microbial community than litter inputs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
