Extreme droughts have serious impacts on the pools, fluxes and processes of terrestrial
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. A deep understanding is necessary to explore the …

Increasing accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere has led to calls for terrestrial
mechanisms for CO2 abatement and given that soils represent the largest terrestrial body of …

Rewetting a dry soil has long been known to cause a burst of respiration (the “Birch Effect”).
Hypothesized mechanisms for this involve:(1) release of cellular materials as a result of the …

Aim Climate change is the foremost cause of terrestrial biodiversity decline, but the microbial
communities from different habitats do not respond equally to environmental change …

Forests are complex ecosystems characterized by several distinctive vertical layers with
different functional properties. Measurements of CO2 fluxes by the eddy-covariance method …

To better understand how forest management, phenology, vegetation type, and actual and
simulated climatic change affect seasonal and inter‐annual variations in soil respiration …

Continuous half-hourly chamber-measured belowground (Rs) and eddy covariance (EC)-
measured total ecosystem (Re) respiration in a 56-year-old Pacific west coast Douglas-fir …

Intensifying forest disturbance regimes are likely to impact heavily on future carbon (C)
budgets of forest ecosystems. Our understanding of how forest disturbance affects the …

ABSTRACT CO2 released by respiring cells in tree stems can either diffuse to the
atmosphere or dissolve in xylem sap. In this study, the internal and external fluxes of CO2 …

This study was undertaken to identify critical and practical factors explaining spatial
variations in soil respiration and to estimate stand-scale soil respiration in an aseasonal …
