Temperature sensitivity and basal rate of soil respiration and their determinants in temperate forests of North China.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The basal respiration rate at 10°C (R10) and the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration (Q10) are two premier parameters in predicting the instantaneous rate of soil respiration at a given temperature.

Altitude and Vegetation Affect Soil Organic Carbon, Basal Respiration and Microbial Biomass in Apennine Forest Soils [PDF]

Forests, 2020
Both altitude and vegetation are known to affect the amount and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) and the size and activity of soil microbial biomass. However, when altitude and vegetation changes are combined, it is still unclear which one has a greater effect on soil chemical and biochemical properties.

Plant–rodent interactions after a heavy snowfall decrease plant regeneration and soil carbon emission in an old-growth forest

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Background Climate extremes are likely to become more common in the future and are expected to change ecosystem processes and functions. As important consumers of seeds in forests, rodents are likely to affect forest regeneration following an extreme ...

Microbial respiration and functional diversity of soil microbial community under treeline shifts in the Northwestern Caucasus

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 ...

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 ...

Localized basal area affects soil respiration temperature sensitivity in a coastal deciduous forest [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2020
Abstract. Soil respiration (Rs), the flow of CO2 from the soil surface to the atmosphere, is one of the largest carbon fluxes in the terrestrial biosphere. The spatial variability of Rs is both large and poorly understood, limiting our ability to robustly scale it in space. One factor in Rs spatial variability is the autotrophic contribution from plant

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 ...

Physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil under soybean cultivation and at an adjacent rainforest in Amazonia [PDF]

Revista Ambiente & Água, 2015
Land-use change in the Amazon basin has occurred at an accelerated pace during the last decade, and it is important that the effects induced by these changes on soil properties are better understood.
