Redefinition and global estimation of basal ecosystem respiration rate [PDF]
Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2011 Abstract: Basal ecosystem respiration rate (BR), the ecosystem respiration rate at a given temperature, is a common and important parameter in empirical models for quantifying ecosystem respiration (ER) globally. Numerous studies have indicated that BR varies in space.

Measuring basal soil respiration across Europe: Do incubation temperature and incubation period matter? [PDF]
Ecological Indicators, 2014 The European Commission recognises the essential role of soil biology in soil functioning and delivery of ecosystem services, but information is currently lacking evaluate of how these vary across soil and land-use types at a European scale. This study evaluated the measurement of the initial rate of soil basal respiration (BR) as a potential ...

Forest Ecology and Management, 2002 Compost from separated organic household waste contains considerable amount of nutrients such as N, P, K, Mg and Ca and may be used for amelioration of degraded forest soils. Our objective was to assess the effect of compost application on soil respiration, soil basal respiration and soil microbial biomass of two mature Norway spruce plantations in ...

Biodegradation kinetics of monosaccharides and their contribution to basal respiration in tropical forest soils [PDF]
Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2011 Low molecular weight (LMW) organic compounds in soil solution are easily biodegradable and could fuel respiration by soil microorganisms. Our main aim was to study the mineralization kinetics of monosaccharides using 14C-radiolabelled glucose. Based on these data and the soil solution concentrations of monosaccharides, we evaluated the contribution of ...

SituResp®: A time- and cost-effective method to assess basal soil respiration in the field
Applied Soil Ecology, 2017 Abstract The soil microbial activity is a key parameter in numerous studies aiming to assess soil quality in agricultural plots. Basal Soil Respiration (BSR) has been extensively used as an indicator of this soil microbial activity. However, available methods to measure BSR remain time- and labor- consuming and must be performed in the laboratory ...

RUDN Journal of Agronomy and Animal Industries, 2021 In mountain areas, one of the noticeable results of modern climate change is rapid shift of treelines to subalpine and alpine meadows. Such vegetation shifts is associated with a change in quality of the plant residues entering the soils, which in turn ...

Soil respiration across a permafrost transition zone: spatial structure and environmental correlates [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Soil respiration is a key ecosystem function whereby shifts in respiration rates can shift systems from carbon sinks to sources. Soil respiration in permafrost-associated systems is particularly important given climate change driven permafrost thaw ...

Representation of Dormant and Active Microbial Dynamics for Ecosystem Modeling [PDF]
, 2013 Dormancy is an essential strategy for microorganisms to cope with environmental stress. However, global ecosystem models typically ignore microbial dormancy, resulting in major model uncertainties.
