Rivers are dynamic components of the terrestrial carbon cycle and provide important
functions in ecosystem processes. Although rivers act as conveyers of carbon to the oceans …

Gas exchange between soil and atmosphere represents a major component of global
greenhouse gas fluxes. Chamber methods and micro-meteorological methods are well …

Soils in equilibrium with a natural forest ecosystem have high carbon (C) density. The ratio
of soil: vegetation C density increases with latitude. Land use change, particularly …

The global environment is constantly changing and our planet is getting warmer at an
unprecedented rate. The study of the carbon cycle, and soil respiration, is a very active area …

Soil‐surface CO2 efflux and its spatial and temporal variations were examined in an 8‐y‐old
ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California from June 1998 to …

Fires are critical pathways of carbon loss from boreal forest soils, whereas microbial
communities form equally critical controls over carbon accumulation between fires. We used …

Global warming intensifies the hydrological cycle, which results in changes in precipitation
regime (frequency and amount), and will likely have significant impacts on soil respiration (R …

CO 2 and CH 4 fluxes were monitored over 4 years in a range of taiga forests along the
Tanana River in interior Alaska. Floodplain alder and white spruce sites and upland …

We present a new soil respiration model, describe a formal model testing procedure, and
compare our model with five alternative models using an extensive data set of observed soil …

It is recognized that human activities, such as fossil fuel burning, land-use change, and
forest harvesting at a large scale, have resulted in the increase of greenhouse gases in the …
