Table 3 The temperature sensitivity of R S derived from the relationship between soil temperature and soil respiration (R S = aexpbT) in the control and warmed plots. a, basal respiration rate; b, coefficient values for the calculation of the Q 10 values (Q 10 = exp10b). Means ± 1 SE (n = 4) within a row that differ in their letters are significantly different at P < 0.05
