Consequences of respiration in the light on the determination of production in pelagic systems [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2007
Oxygen microprobes were used to estimate Community Respiration (R), Net Community Production (NCP) and Gross Primary Production (GPP) in coastal seawater samples.

Effects of simulated acid rain on soil respiration and its component in a mixed coniferous-broadleaved forest of the three gorges reservoir area in Southwest China

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2019
Background Soil respiration in forest ecosystems is an important part of the forest carbon (C) cycle. Studying the variation patterns of soil respiration under acid rain conditions is critically important for understanding forest C balance and performing

The changing carbon balance of tundra ecosystems: results from a vertically-resolved peatland biosphere model

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2021
An estimated 1700 Pg of carbon is frozen in the Arctic permafrost and the fate of this carbon is unclear because of the complex interaction of biophysical, ecological and biogeochemical processes that govern the Arctic carbon budget.

Effect of lime application on soil respiration is modulated by understory vegetation in subtropical Eucalyptus L’Hér. plantations

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
ObjectiveLime application and understory plant clearance are two common forest management methods employed to increase forest productivity in subtropical regions. However, the effect of these two management methods, or their combined application, on soil

An ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy system for studying real‐time pressure effects on enzyme activity

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...

Agroforestry and enhanced rock weathering: A dual strategy for sustainable cacao

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cacao production is both economically vital and environmentally intensive, presenting a major sustainability challenge as a crop largely cultivated by smallholder farmers in climate‐vulnerable regions. This review synthesises evidence that integrating agroforestry with enhanced rock weathering (EW) may significantly reduce emissions from cacao ...

Effect of moisture on leaf litter decomposition and its contribution to soil respiration in a temperate forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The degree to which increased soil respiration rates following wetting is caused by plant (autotrophic) versus microbial (heterotrophic) processes, is still largely uninvestigated. Incubation studies suggest microbial processes play a role but it remains

Heterotrophic and Autotrophic Soil Respiration under Simulated Dormancy Conditions

open access: yesOpen Journal of Forestry, 2015
Carbon cycling research has increased over the past 20 years, but less is known about the primary contributors to soil respiration (i.e. heterotrophic and autotrophic) under dormant conditions. It is understood that soil CO2 effluxes are significantly lower during the winter of temperate ecosystems and assumed microorganisms dominate efflux origination.
