Global warming accelerates soil heterotrophic respiration
Carbon efflux from soils is the largest terrestrial carbon source to the atmosphere, yet it is still one of the most uncertain fluxes in the Earth’s carbon budget.

Seasonal Influence of Biodiversity on Soil Respiration in a Temperate Forest [PDF]
Soil respiration in forests contributes to significant carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial ecosystems but it varies both spatially and seasonally. Both abiotic and biotic factors influence soil respiration but their relative contribution to spatial

Temporal changes in global soil respiration since 1987. [PDF]
As the second-largest terrestrial carbon (C) flux, soil respiration (RS) has been stimulated by climate warming. However, the magnitude and dynamics of such stimulations of soil respiration are highly uncertain at the global scale, undermining our ...

Extreme heat events heighten soil respiration. [PDF]
AbstractIn the wake of climate change, extreme events such as heatwaves are considered to be key players in the terrestrial biosphere. In the past decades, the frequency and severity of heatwaves have risen substantially, and they are projected to continue to intensify in the future.

Soil Respiration of Paddy Soils Were Stimulated by Semiconductor Minerals. [PDF]
Large quantities of semiconductor minerals on soil surfaces have a sensitive photoelectric response. These semiconductor minerals generate photo-electrons and photo-hole pairs that can stimulate soil oxidation–reduction reactions when exposed to sunlight.

Seasonal variation of soil respiration in a tropical coastal shelter forest and its responses to environmental factors [PDF]
IntroductionTropical coastal shelter forests exhibit unique environmental characteristics and material cycling processes. However, the seasonal dynamics and environmental drivers of soil respiration in these ecosystems remain poorly understood.

Influence of nitrogen addition on soil respiration and soil properties in urban forests in Hefei city in China. [PDF]
With the continuous development of urbanization, nitrogen deposition has affected the regeneration capacity of urban forest soil. This study focused on Quercus acutissima Carruth forest in a southern city Hefei in China. The effects of different nitrogen

Historical climate controls soil respiration responses to current soil moisture [PDF]
Significance Ecosystems’ feedback to climate change remains a source of uncertainty in global models that project future climate conditions. That uncertainty rests largely on how much soil carbon will be lost as microbial respiration and how that loss varies across ecosystems.

The influence of soil communities on the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration [PDF]
Soil respiration represents a major carbon flux between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere, and is expected to accelerate under climate warming.

The response of soil carbon release to global warming is largely determined by the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration, yet how this relationship will be affected by increasing atmospheric nitrogen deposition is unclear. Here, we present a global
