| Abstract | The feedback between soil carbon (C) and climate change has the potential to decrease over time, which is mainly due to the thermal acclimation of microbial decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). The adaption and stabilization mechanisms of microbial functions in response to long-term warming in agroecosystems, however, remain intensive debate. Therefore, we explored the controls of thermal acclimation based on an 8-year field warming (ambient, +1.6 °C, +3.2 °C) in agroecosystem and a short-term incubation at five constant temperature levels (from 5 to 25 °C with 5 °C intervals) under microbial steady-state (without glucose, non-activated microbial community) and activate microbial growth induced by sufficient glucose addition. At the steady-state, field warming (+3.2 °C) increased the specific growth rate whilst decreased the portion of growing microbial biomass as compared to ambient soils. This indicated that 8-year field warming facilitated the consumption of labile organics due to faster microbial growth. Consequently, microbial growth, activities of β-glucosidase and leucine aminopeptidase, as well as microbial respiration acclimated to field warming (+1.6 °C, +3.2 °C) over 8-year, responded up to 40% weaker to further short-term temperature increase (above 15 °C). Also, the temperature sensitivity of enzyme activity decreased with field warming magnitude under higher incubation temperatures, which further indicated enzyme acclimation. Under activation mode, however, the higher enzyme activities suggested that the increased labile C remarkably relieved the substrate limitation of microbial growth and activated dormant microorganisms in field warmed soils, and weaken the thermal acclimation of soil microbial functions. We thus found experimental evidence that the transition between microbial physiological states (i.e., dormant vs. active) owing to variations in C availability is the most plausible explanation for the alterations in temperature sensitivity of enzyme activities and microbial respiration. The compensating effect of the increased labile substrate under climate warming on the thermal acclimation of soil microbe-driven CO2 may thus be larger than that currently predicted, with important consequences for atmospheric CO2 concentrations. |
