Extended Data Fig. 3: Responses of potential heterotrophic respiration (Rhp) to permafrost collapse and experimental warming at the Shaliuhe site.
From: Enhanced response of soil respiration to experimental warming upon thermokarst formation
a,c, Seasonal dynamics and averages of Rhp during the growing seasons in 2019 (a) and 2020 (c). Data are presented with mean values ± s.e.m. (n = 30). Inserts show effects of permafrost collapse, experimental warming and their interactions on seasonal averages of Rhp. b,d, Normalized Rhp change between collapsed and non-collapsed areas in 2019 (b) and 2020 (d). The ends of the boxes represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, and the whiskers refer to the 10th and 90th quartiles. The white dot in each box shows the average (n = 30). These comparisons were analyzed based on linear mixed-effects models with one-sided F tests. ***, P < 0.001.
