Data from: A simple experimental set-up to disentangle the effects of altered temperature and moisture regimes on soil organisms
1. Climate manipulation experiments in the field and laboratory incubations are common methods to study the impact of climate change on soils and their biota. However, both types of methods have drawbacks either on their mechanistic interpretation or ecological relevance. 2. We propose an experiment...
