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

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

Global spatiotemporal distribution of soil respiration modeled using a global database [PDF]
The flux of carbon dioxide from the soil to the atmosphere (soil respiration) is one of the major fluxes in the global carbon cycle. At present, the accumulated field observation data cover a wide range of geographical locations and climate conditions ...

Effects of precipitation increase on soil respiration: a three-year field experiment in subtropical forests in China. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine response patterns and mechanisms of soil respiration to precipitation increases in subtropical regions. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Field plots in three typical forests [i.e.

Comparing an exponential respiration model to alternative models for soil respiration components in a Canadian wildfire chronosequence (FireResp v1.0) [PDF]
Forest fires modify soil organic carbon and suppress soil respiration for many decades after the initial disturbance. The associated changes in soil autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration from the time of the forest fire, however, are less well ...

Effect of sieving on ex-situ soil respiration of soils from three land use types [PDF]
This study aims to investigate the effect of sieving on ex situ soil respiration (CO2 flux) measurements from different land use types. We collected soils (0–10 cm) from arable, grassland and woodland sites, allocated them to either sieved (4-mm mesh ...

Diel hysteresis between soil respiration and soil temperature in a biological soil crust covered desert ecosystem. [PDF]
Soil respiration induced by biological soil crusts (BSCs) is an important process in the carbon (C) cycle in arid and semi-arid ecosystems, where vascular plants are restricted by the harsh environment, particularly the limited soil moisture.

Impacts of land-use changes on soil respiration in the semi-arid region of Brazil [PDF]
Soil respiration represents the largest flux of CO2 emission from terrestrial ecosystems, being affected by land-use changes and soil properties. There are few studies investigating the response of soil respiration to land-use changes in the Caatinga ...
