Investigating the sensitivity of soil heterotrophic respiration to recent snow cover changes in Alaska using a satellite-based permafrost carbon model [PDF]
The contribution of soil heterotrophic respiration to the boreal–Arctic carbon (CO2) cycle and its potential feedback to climate change remains poorly quantified.

Seasonal changes in respiration and the components of four reconstructed soils (gravel + meteorite + lou; gravel + shale + lou; gravel + sand + lou; and gravel + soft rock + lou) in barren gravel land were monitored using the soil carbon flux measurement

Higher Trophic Levels Overwhelm Climate Change Impacts on Terrestrial Ecosystem Functioning. [PDF]
Forest floor food webs play pivotal roles in carbon cycling, but they are rarely considered in models of carbon fluxes, including soil carbon dioxide emissions (respiration), under climatic warming. The indirect effects of invertebrates on heterotrophic (

Effect of moisture on leaf litter decomposition and its contribution to soil respiration in a temperate forest [PDF]
The degree to which increased soil respiration rates following wetting is caused by plant (autotrophic) versus microbial (heterotrophic) processes, is still largely uninvestigated. Incubation studies suggest microbial processes play a role but it remains

Heterotrophic soil respiration and carbon cycling in geochemically distinct African tropical forest soils [PDF]
Abstract. Heterotrophic soil respiration is an important component of the global terrestrial carbon (C) cycle, driven by environmental factors acting from local to continental scales. For tropical Africa, these factors and their interactions remain largely unknown.

The influence of soils on heterotrophic respiration exerts a strong control on net ecosystem productivity in seasonally dry Amazonian forests [PDF]
Net ecosystem productivity of carbon (NEP) in seasonally dry forests of the Amazon varies greatly between sites with similar precipitation patterns.

Autotrophic component of soil respiration is repressed by drought more than the heterotrophic one in dry grasslands [PDF]
Summer droughts projected to increase in central Europe due to climate changes strongly influence the carbon cycle of ecosystems. Persistent respiration activities during drought periods are responsible for a significant carbon loss, which may turn the ...

Soil Carbon Release and Microbial Biomass Characteristics in Different Pinus massoniana Forests in Three Gorges Reservoir area [PDF]
[Objective] As a hotspot region of soil respiration and carbon pool dynamics, the Three Gorges Reservoir area is most extensively covered by Pinus massoniana forests, whose soil organic carbon storage is the largest among all forest types.
