Abstract The temperature sensitivity of the decomposition of organic carbon pools is of key importance for modelling carbon turnover in soils. Therefore, examining the factors that determine and influence temperature sensitivity is extremely important. The decomposition of organic matter taken from three soil fractions in four land use areas (grass, spruce, oak and arable) was investigated in a 1-year incubation at 15, 25 and 35 °C. The particulate organic matter (POM) fraction corresponds to th
