One of the issues hampering progress in modelling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
soils is a lack of co-ordination between models originating from different disciplines: soil …

The net ecosystem exchange (NEE) is the difference between ecosystem CO 2 assimilation
and CO 2 losses to the atmosphere. Ecosystem respiration (R eco), the efflux of CO 2 from …

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 …

Respiration, which is the second most important carbon flux in ecosystems following gross
primary productivity, is typically represented in biogeochemical models by simple …

Soil organic matter (SOM) has long been recognized as an important indicator of soil
productivity. The SOM refers to the organic fraction of the soil exclusive of undecayed plant …

Carbon and Nitrogen in the Terrestrial Environment is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary
description of C and N fluxes between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere; issues …

In an old growth coniferous forest located in the central Cascade Mountains, Oregon, we
added or removed aboveground litter and terminated live root activity by trenching to …

Partitioning the root‐derived CO2 efflux from soil (frequently termed rhizosphere respiration)
into actual root respiration (RR, respiration by autotrophs) and rhizomicrobial respiration …

The main determinants of soil respiration were investigated in 11 forest types distributed
along an altitudinal and thermal gradient in the southern Italian Alps (altitudinal range 1520 …

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