ABSTRACT
Chen et al. (Ecology Letters, 2021, 24, 1018) concluded that plant input governs topsoil carbon persistence in alpine grasslands. We demonstrated that the excluded direct effect of precipitation on topsoil Δ14 C in their analysis was significant and strong. Our results provide an alternative viewpoint on the drivers of soil carbon turnover.
