Fig. 5: Transferring our temperature-dependent soil carbon turnover time into the Q10 concept.
From: Dominant control of temperature on (sub-)tropical soil carbon turnover

The relative carbon loss ratio (f/f0, where f0 is the efflux at ΔT = 0) as function of temperature anomaly is plotted for different Q10, including results based on recent data by Eglinton et al.31. In addition the output of this soil carbon loss rate for the equation used in the LPJ DGVM is plotted for anomalies for three different temperature baselines (Eq. (23) in ref. 57.
