Title: Data and code for: "Soil respiration response to simulated precipitation change depends on ecosystem type and study duration"

Abstract

Data, code, and figures from our meta-analysis of the effect of precipitation change on soil respiration, with an emphasis on ecosystem variability and the effect of study duration. We combined the results of 81 separate studies to determine the effect of altered rainfall on the amount of carbon that leaves soil in the form of carbon dioxide, a major component of global carbon cycling. In addition we looked at how long the changes lasted, and how different soil properties and the intensity of precipitation changes affected the study results. We found that more precipitation resulted in greater amounts of carbon dioxide leaving the soil, and less precipitation resulted in less. However, the changes weakened over time in ecosystems that typically receive plenty of rainfall (e.g., forests), in contrast to ecosystems that typically receive little rainfall (e.g., deserts) where changes strengthened over time. Changes in the amount of carbon dioxide that left the soil were also affected by the amount of carbon in the soil, which impacts how much water soil can hold.
