Abstract Terrestrial ecosystems release~ 106–130 PgC yr–1 into the atmosphere through
respiration, counterbalancing photosynthetic carbon uptake and determining the strength of …

Soil compaction and soil moisture are important factors influencing denitrification and N2O
emission from fertilized soils. We analyzed the combined effects of these factors on the …

We analyzed one year of continuous soil respiration measurements to assess variations in
the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration at a Danish beech forest. A single temperature …

Chamber measurements of total ecosystem respiration (TER) in a native Canadian
grassland ecosystem were made during two study years with different precipitation. The …

This paper describes a new method to monitor continuously soil CO2 profiles using small
solid-state CO2 sensors buried at different depths of the soil. Based on the measurement of …

Soil respiration constitutes the second largest flux of carbon (C) between terrestrial
ecosystems and the atmosphere. This study provides a synthesis of soil respiration (R s) in …

The spatial upscaling of soil respiration from field measurements to ecosystem levels will be
biased without studying its spatial variation. We took advantage of the unique spatial …

Continuous half-hourly measurements of soil CO2 efflux made between January and
December 2001 in a mature trembling aspen stand located at the southern edge of the …

Comparisons were made among Douglas‐fir forest, aspen (broad leaf deciduous) forest and
wheatgrass (C3) grassland for ecosystem‐level water‐use efficiency (WUE). WUE was …

To better understand the biotic and abiotic factors that control soil CO2 efflux, we compared
seasonal and diurnal variations in simultaneously measured forest-floor CO2 effluxes and …
