Small scale spatial heterogeneity of soil respiration in an old growth temperate deciduous forest

Over 24-h, soil respiration rates followed a quadratic curve during the day coming close to linear at night, while soil temperature and moisture together explained at least 73 %

The results indicate that soil microbial biomass, soil basal respiration, metabolic quotient, labile carbon of fumigated soil, density, richness, diversity and uniformity of

Soil temperature at 5 cm depth, soil moisture of the top 5 cm soil layer, soil respiration rate, fine root biomass and soil microbial biomass under ambient precipitation

Since it was not possible to obtain direct measurements of soil respiration from areas occupied by trees, large roots, or coarse woody debris, and we cannot assume these areas have

Range of values for soil moisture (SM), soil organic carbon (SOC), clay, and bulk density (BD) used to fit linear regression models using different measures of soil moisture..

annual soil temperature, for all sites and years were calcu- lated using the soil temperature – respiration response func- tions reported by the respective studies.. The average

To examine the interaction effects on SR of tree species, soil moisture and temperature, we set three riparian–hillslope transects to mea- sure the variation of total SR (sum of

Mean annual values of soil temperature at 5 cm depth, soil moisture of the top 5 cm soil layer, soil respiration rate, fine root biomass and soil microbial biomass under
