Experimental drought and soil amendments affect grassland above- and belowground vegetation but not soil carbon stocks by D. Guasconi, D. Guasconi, S. A. O. Cousins, S. A. O. Cousins, S. Manzoni, S. Manzoni, N. Roth, N. Roth, G. Hugelius, G. Hugelius

“…Experimental drought did not significantly reduce plant biomass compared to control plots, but it stunted the increase in aboveground biomass in compost-treated plots and led to changes in root traits. These results highlight the complexity of ecosystem C dynamics and the importance of considering multiple biotic and abiotic factors across spatial scales when developing land management strategies to enhance C sequestration.…”
