• Predictions concerning the feedback of soil heterotrophic respiration to a warming climate often do not differentiate between the extracellular and intracellular steps involved in soil organic matter decomposition. (reading.ac.uk)
  • This study examined the temperature sensitivities of intracellular metabolic processes and extracellular soil enzyme activities and how they are influenced by previous temperatures. (reading.ac.uk)
  • Pre-incubation temperature effects on temperature sensitivity were subtle and restricted to extracellular activities, perhaps because of the short (60 day) duration of the pre-incubation at temperatures that were below the initial optimum (~30 °C) for the mesophilic soil community. (reading.ac.uk)
  • However, we found that the intracellular and extracellular steps differ in their temperature sensitivity and this observation differs depending on the range of temperature used for Q10 estimates of temperature sensitivity. (reading.ac.uk)
  • Between 5 °C and 15 °C intracellular and extracellular enzyme processes show equal temperature sensitivity, but between 15 °C and 26 °C intracellular metabolic processes were more temperature sensitive than extracellular enzyme activity and between 26 °C and 37 °C extracellular enzyme activity was more temperature sensitive than intracellular metabolic processes. (reading.ac.uk)
  • Nevertheless, since climate change predictions currently indicate that there will be a greater frequency and severity of hot summers and heatwaves, it is possible that global warming may reduce the importance of extracellular depolymerisation relative to intracellular metabolic processes as the rate limiting step of soil organic matter mineralization. (reading.ac.uk)
  • We conclude that extracellular and intracellular steps are not equally sensitive to changes in soil temperature and that the previous temperature a soil is exposed to may influence the potential activity, but not temperature sensitivity, of extracellular and intracellular processes.
