•Warming effects on soil microbial respiration (MR) are modest.•Warming effects on MR increase with warming level, mean annual precipitation, and soil organic carbon.•Warming increases MR by stimulating soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen.•Warming-induced increase in MR does not lead to soil...
