Looking at #soil heterotrophic respiration (Rh) through the lens of precipitation driven biomass dynamics. Hourly Rh & precip from #FluxNet sites were correlated via soil moisture within a biomass framework.

Huang etal 2021 https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2115283118 found that precip can be a significant explainer of temperature corrected Rh
