Diel hysteresis between soil respiration and soil temperature in a biological soil crust covered desert ecosystem.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
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.

Quantifying thermal adaptation of soil microbial respiration

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Abstract Quantifying the rate of thermal adaptation of soil microbial respiration is essential in determining potential for carbon cycle feedbacks under a warming climate. Uncertainty surrounding this topic stems in part from persistent methodological issues and difficulties isolating the interacting effects of changes in microbial community ...

Impact of environmental factors and biological soil crust types on soil respiration in a desert ecosystem.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The responses of soil respiration to environmental conditions have been studied extensively in various ecosystems. However, little is known about the impacts of temperature and moisture on soils respiration under biological soil crusts.

Soil respiration under different land uses in Eastern China.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Land-use change has a crucial influence on soil respiration, which further affects soil nutrient availability and carbon stock. We monitored soil respiration rates under different land-use types (tea gardens with three production levels, adjacent ...

Effects of simulated acid rain on soil respiration and its component in a mixed coniferous-broadleaved forest of the three gorges reservoir area in Southwest China

open access: yesForest Ecosystems, 2019
Background Soil respiration in forest ecosystems is an important part of the forest carbon (C) cycle. Studying the variation patterns of soil respiration under acid rain conditions is critically important for understanding forest C balance and performing

Living roots magnify the response of soil organic carbon decomposition to temperature in temperate grassland. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is both a strong driver of primary productivity and widely believed to be the principal cause of recent increases in global temperature.

Vegetation types alter soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity at the field scale in an estuary wetland.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Vegetation type plays an important role in regulating the temporal and spatial variation of soil respiration. Therefore, vegetation patchiness may cause high uncertainties in the estimates of soil respiration for scaling field measurements to ecosystem ...

Comparison of boreal ecosystem model sensitivity to variability in climate and forest site parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Ecosystem models are useful tools for evaluating environmental controls on carbon and water cycles under past or future conditions. In this paper we compare annual carbon and water fluxes from nine boreal spruce forest ecosystem models in a series of ...
