Atmospheric nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) depositions have been shown to alter nutrient availability in terrestrial ecosystems and thus largely influence soil carbon cycling processes. However, the general pattern of nutrient-induced changes in the temperature response of soil carbon decomposition is unknown. Yet, understanding this pattern is crucial in terms of its effect on soil carbon-climate feedback. Here, we report that N and P additions significantly increase the temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition (Q10) by sampling soils from 36 sites across China's forests. We found that N, P, and their co-addition (NP) significantly increased the Q10 by 11.3%, 11.5%, and 23.9%, respectively. The enhancement effect of nutrient addition on Q10 was more evident in soils from warm regions than in those from cold regions. Moreover, we found that nutrient-induced changes in substrate availability and initial substrate and nutrient availability mainly regulated nutrient addition effects. Our findings highlight that N and P deposition enhances the temperature response of soil carbon decomposition, suggesting that N and P deposition should be incorporated into Earth system models to improve the projections of soil carbon feedback to climate change
