Abstract Investigating the effects of warming and simulated acid rain on soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity is crucial in predicting the potential responses of soil C cycles to future climate warming. A three-year field experiment with six treatments (CK, WA, CK-4.0, WA-4.0, CK-2.0 and WA-2.0) of warming (coded as WA) and three simulated acid rain levels (coded as CK, pH 4.0 and pH 2.0) was performed in an annual winter wheat–soybean cropland to study the comprehensive effects of warming and simulated acid rain on soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity. The results indicated that warming significantly (P 0.05). Warming induced a significant (P 0.05) impact the Q10 of soil respiration.
