Dear Authors

Thank you for sending your response to the referee comments. Both reviewers highly evaluated the scientific quality of your study, while they are inconsistent about the scientific significance. However, this is often the case for meta-analysis papers like this study, and I believe that this study tackled an important aspect of biogeochemical carbon cycle. In this sense, this study is not likely “ill-fitted” to the journal scope. I studied your reply to each comment and found that you responded appropriately. Especially, conducting an additional analysis on the interactive effects and adding discussion on practical use of the outcomes will improve the value of the paper. Also, your consideration of providing code and data is greatly appreciated. Finally, I conclude that the manuscript needs minor revision on the basis of your comments before acceptance for publication.
