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.

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 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

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 ...

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.

Relations between soil respiration, humus quali­ty and ca­tion exchange capacity in selected subtypes of chernozem in South Moravia region

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2008
Soil organic matter (SOM) undergoes short and long-term transformation in the soil. Microorganisms through their enzymes are able to mineralize organic carbon while the rate of this process is different. Biological test though referred to one of the main

The biochar effect on soil respiration and nitrification

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2018
Soil microorganisms play a main role in the nutrient cycle and they also play an important role in soil health. This article studies the influence of three rates of biochar (0.5, 1 and 3%) in comparison with control (0 biochar) in two different soils ...
