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 ...

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2007 Abstract The mycorrhizal, rhizosphere and basal components of soil respiration were partitioned in a barley field experiment with the main objective of determining the controlling effects of photosynthetic activity and temperature on soil respiration sources.

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.

Applied Soil Ecology, 2022 Abstract Despite the high array of potential applications of cobalt oxide nanomaterial (nano-Co3O4), data regarding its toxicity to soil biota is limited, compromising the capability of predicting the risks of this metal oxide nanomaterial (MO-NM).

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 ...

MICROBIAL ACTIVITY CHANGES IN SOIL AMENDED WITH RAW AND COMPOSTED SEWAGE SLUDGE [PDF]
Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering, 2003 The changing of soil biological characteristics due to the addition of raw and composted sewage sludge (at 0, 1.5 and 3.0%) were evaluated during a 165-day incubation experiment. Generally, increasing the addition rate of sewage sludge and its compost up

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.
