Plant roots represent about a quarter of global plant biomass and constitute primary source soil organic carbon (C). Yet, considerable uncertainty persists regarding root litter decomposition their responses to change factors (GCFs). Much this stems from limited understanding the multifactorial effects GCFs it remains unclear how these are mediated by quality, conditions microbial functionality. Using complementary field laboratory incubation approaches, we assessed relative controls GCF-mediated changes in traits properties on fine-root under warming, nitrogen (N) enrichment, precipitation alteration. We found that warming N enrichment accelerated over 10%, combination showed an additive effect, while reduction suppressed overall 12%, with suppressive effect being most significant warming-alone enrichment-alone conditions. Significantly, quality played dominant role 15% ~ 18% were predominant reduced 7% 10% combined enrichment. Examining only environment or isolation can distort decomposition, underestimating impacts 38% overstating up 73%. These findings highlight net impact hinges interplay between GCF-modulated decomposability environment, as well synergistic antagonistic relationships among themselves. Our study emphasizes integrating legacy multiple traits, functionality would improve our prediction C nutrient cycling interactive scenarios.
