Is soil basal respiration a good indicator of soil pollution?

Geoderma, 2016
Abstract Metal(loid)s are common pollutants in soils, causing a significant toxicological risk to living organisms and to the ecosystems. Soil basal respiration (SBR) is broadly used as indicator of metal(loid) stress in polluted soils, although the correlation with toxicity gives in many cases contradictory results.

Bioremediation with Compost of a Diesel Contaminated Soil: Monitoring by Dehydrogenase Activity and Basal Respiration

open access: yesCompost Science & Utilization, 2009
The effect of compost on hydrocarbon degradation was determined during a 120-d incubation period. An evaluation of soil basal respiration and dehydrogenase activity as a monitoring instrument for the bioremediation process of soil contaminated with commercial diesel-oil was carried out.

Are the soil microbial biomass and basal respiration governed by the climatic regime?

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 1990
Abstract Soils in C equilibrium from various climatic regions were sampled to assess the influence of macroclimate on soil microbial biomass (C mic ) and basal respiration (CO 2 -evolution). C mic was measured using the substrate-induced respiration technique.

Basal rates of soil respiration are correlated with photosynthesis in a mixed temperate forest

Global Change Biology, 2007
AbstractMany field studies have demonstrated that soil temperature explains most of the temporal variation in soil respiration (SR). However, there is increasing evidence to suggest that SR is also influenced by current, or recent, photosynthate. Accordingly, seasonal changes in SR nominally attributed to temperature may, in part, be due to seasonality

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BASAL SOIL RESPIRATION RATE, TREE STAND AND SOIL CHARACTERISTICS IN BOREAL FORESTS

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2005
Soil respiration is considered to represent the overall microbial activity reflecting mineralisation of organic matter in soil. It is the most commonly used biological variable in soil studies. In long-term monitoring of forested areas, there is a need for reference values for soil microbiological variables in different forest ecosystems. In this study
