Soil quality, leaf litter quality, and microbial biomass interactively drive soil respiration in a microcosm experiment

open access: yesSoil Organisms, 2021
Soil respiration plays a central role in global carbon dynamics, and small changes in the magnitude of soil respiration could have large impacts on atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

Plant species richness regulates soil respiration through changes in productivity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Soil respiration is an important pathway of the C cycle. However, it is still poorly understood how changes in plant community diversity can affect this ecosystem process.

Carbon allocation and carbon isotope fluxes in the plant-soil-atmosphere continuum: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle has received increasing interest over the past few decades, however, there is still a lack of understanding of the fate of newly assimilated C allocated within plants and to the soil, stored within ecosystems and lost to ...

Response of soil fungi and biological processes to crop residues in no-tillage system

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2016
Soil management and crop rotation can directly affect the soil microbial community. This study aimed at determining soil quality indicators and soilborne fungi in a no-tillage system. A randomized blocks design, in a 3 × 2 factorial arrangement, was used.

Controls on winter ecosystem respiration in temperate and boreal ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Winter CO2 fluxes represent an important component of the annual carbon budget in northern ecosystems. Understanding winter respiration processes and their responses to climate change is also central to our ability to assess terrestrial carbon cycle and ...

Positive effects of plant diversity on soil microbial biomass and activity are associated with more root biomass production

open access: yesJournal of Plant Interactions, 2017
This study aims to explore relationships between plant diversity and soil microbial function and the factors that mediate the relationships. Artificial plant communities (1, 2, 4 and 8 species) were established filled with natural and mine tailing soils,

Effect of Water Erosion on Soil Respiration Characteristics of Chernozem Topsoil

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2016
Soil respiration characteristics are an important indicator of the soil state. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of water erosion on soil respiration characteristics, in particular to determine whether erosion-damaged areas show ...

The impact of windthrow and fire disturbances on selected soil properties in the Tatra National Park

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2008
: In November 2004, forest stands in the Tatra National Park (TANAP) were affected by windthrow and in July 2005, the wildfire broke out on a part of the affected area.

An overlooked mechanism underlying the attenuated temperature response of soil heterotrophic respiration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Biogeochemical reactions occurring in soil pore space underpin gaseous emissions measured at macroscopic scales but are difficult to quantify due to their complexity and heterogeneity.
