Short summary
Precipitation and N deposition significantly increased Rs, but warming decreased Rs, which depended mainly on the variation of soil moisture. The interactive response of Rs to combinations of the factors was much less than that of any single factor, and the interactions of multiple factors largely reduced between-year variation of Rs more than any single factor, suggesting that the carbon cycle in temperate deserts could be profoundly influenced by positive carbon–climate feedbacks.
