Experimental warming increases ecosystem respiration by increasing above-ground respiration in alpine meadows of Western Himalaya [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya, despite low primary productivity, store considerable amount of organic carbon. However, these ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate warming which may stimulate ecosystem carbon efflux leading to carbon-loss and ...

Nonlinear response of ecosystem respiration to multiple levels of temperature increases [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Global warming exerts profound impacts on terrestrial carbon cycles and feedback to climates. Ecosystem respiration (ER) is one of the main components of biosphere CO2 fluxes. However, knowledge regarding how ER responds to warming is still lacking.

Impact of groundwater table and plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) on ecosystem respiration in the Zoige Peatlands of China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Peatlands contain large amount of carbon stock that is vulnerable to release into the atmosphere. Mostly because of human impact, the peatlands at Zoige Wetlands face severe degradation, and the groundwater table is now lower than before, which has ...

A global-drive analysis of ecosystem respiration in the Arctic and Third Pole
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Terrestrial ecosystem respiration is an important component of the global terrestrial carbon cycle. The special environment of low temperatures in the Arctic and Third Pole makes ecosystem respiration extremely sensitive to the response of climate change.

Herbivore–shrub interactions influence ecosystem respiration and biogenic volatile organic compound composition in the subarctic [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2023 Arctic ecosystems are warming nearly 4 times faster than the global average, which is resulting in plant community shifts and subsequent changes in biogeochemical processes such as gaseous fluxes.

Radiocarbon measurements of ecosystem respiration and soil pore-space CO2 in Utqiaġvik (Barrow), Alaska [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2018 Radiocarbon measurements of ecosystem respiration and soil pore space CO2 are useful for determining the sources of ecosystem respiration, identifying environmental controls on soil carbon cycling rates, and parameterizing and evaluating models of the

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 ...
