- Observation Root–soil respiration was lowest in spring, rose through late August, then declined through November.
- Association Root–soil respiration was not correlated with root length density.
- Intervention effect Heating enhanced root–soil respiration by 10% in June–August.
- Intervention effect After drought began, heating increased respiration by about 42% in wet soil.
- Intervention effect Heating did not influence respiration in dry soil after drought began.
- Intervention effect Heating accentuated drought-related soil moisture loss.
- Intervention effect After two months without water, soil moisture fell 5% in unheated soil.
- Intervention effect After two months without water, soil moisture fell 10% in heated soil.
- Intervention effect Drought slowed root–soil respiration 17% in unheated soil.
- Intervention effect Drought slowed root–soil respiration 36% in heated soil.
