Cover Story: This study explores the impact of climate change on soil health by focusing on the temperature sensitivity of soil microbial respiration (Q10). Leveraging Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), the research uncovers the key chemical, physical, and microbiological soil factors that influence Q10 values. Our findings reveal the pivotal role of the soil microbiome in driving soil respiration responses to warming. By identifying these critical variables, the study provides essential insights into soil carbon dynamics, informing the development of innovative strategies for climate change mitigation and sustainable soil management.
