Seasonal and spatial variability in plankton production and respiration in the Subtropical Gyres of the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Euphotic zone plankton production (P) and respiration (R) were determined from the in vitro flux of dissolved oxygen during six latitudinal transects of the Atlantic Ocean, as part of the Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) programme.

In this paper we present data on soil microbial biomass and heterotrophic respiration in pastures, mature and secondary forests, in order to elucidate their contribution to total CO2 flux from soil to atmosphere.

Heterotrophic soil respiration and subsidence are enhanced by water table decline, with a meta-analysis estimating that soil respiration in drained peatlands across the globe release 645 Mt carbon per year.

Autotrophic component of soil respiration is repressed by drought more than the heterotrophic one in dry grasslands [PDF]
Summer droughts projected to increase in central Europe due to climate changes strongly influence the carbon cycle of ecosystems. Persistent respiration activities during drought periods are responsible for a significant carbon loss, which may turn the ...

Soil respiration in Chinese tea gardens: autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration
Summary To obtain an improved understanding of the response of soil respiration ( R S ) to soil temperature and water content, we used a trenching treatment that could divide R S

Soil Carbon Release and Microbial Biomass Characteristics in Different Pinus massoniana Forests in Three Gorges Reservoir area [PDF]
[Objective] As a hotspot region of soil respiration and carbon pool dynamics, the Three Gorges Reservoir area is most extensively covered by Pinus massoniana forests, whose soil organic carbon storage is the largest among all forest types.

Growing season CO2 fluxes from a drained peatland dominated by Molinia caerulea [PDF]
(1) Molinia caerulea occurs in peatland vegetation communities. However, under certain environmental and management conditions it may overwhelm the typical peatland vegetation, compromising ecosystem services including carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration ...

Vegetation type determines heterotrophic respiration in subalpine Australian ecosystems [PDF]
AbstractSoils are the largest store of carbon in the biosphere and cool‐cold climate ecosystems are notable for their carbon‐rich soils. Characterizing effects of future climates on soil‐stored C is critical to elucidating feedbacks to changes in the atmospheric pool of CO2.

Heterotrophic Respiration and the Divergence of Productivity and Carbon Sequestration [PDF]
AbstractNet primary productivity (NPP) and net ecosystem production (NEP) are often used interchangeably, as their difference, heterotrophic respiration (soil heterotrophic CO2 efflux, RSH = NPP−NEP), is assumed a near‐fixed fraction of NPP. Here, we show, using a range‐wide replicated experimental study in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantations that ...
