Climate change is intensifying precipitation extremes, yet how historical drought and wetting shape post‐event soil carbon fluxes remains poorly understood. Using a seven‐year precipitation manipulation experiment (−70% to +50%) followed by a two‐year recovery period in a semi‐arid grassland, we quantified legacy effects on soil respiration (Rs) and its autotrophic (Ra) and heterotrophic (Rh) components. Historical moderate we...
