The assumed effects of altered precipitation intensity and N addition on nematode body size and carbon use efficiency. The possible mechanisms underlying the changes in nematode body size and carbon use efficiency and involving different drivers are presented. The blue and pink arrows indicate assumed positive and negative effects, respectively. The orange arrows indicate the possibility of both positive and negative effects. The solid and dashed lines indicate the mechanisms that can directly and indirectly drive the responses in nematode body size and carbon use efficiency to treatments, respectively
