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. Despite its importance in climate change forecasts, however, our understanding of the effects of temperature on soil respiration (RS) is incomplete. Using a metabolic ecology approach we link soil biota

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

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

Volcanogenic Sulfate and Fluoride deposition: Effects on organic and mineral soil gas fluxes and chemistry [PDF]
This thesis focuses on the environmental effects of volcanic eruptions such as Eyjafjallajökull (2010) from which volcanic gases and ash particles can impact upon ecosystems located thousands of kilometres from the source. Currently very little is known

Soil respiration depending on different agricultural practices before maize sowing
The aim of the study was to compare soil respiration depending on different agricultural practices before sowing of maize (Zea mays L.). Results of the study were derived from the field experiment that was carried out in 2013-2015; the research indicates

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