… (NPP, GPP), and soil carbon content from datasets designed for studies at regional and
global scales. This study explores the extent to which soil respiration is controlled by these …

… It is not surprising that the flux of CO2 from soils is closely tied to plant growth, which supplies
organic residues to decomposers. Across major world biomes, Raich and Schlesinger (…

… Soil respiration (Rs) is the second largest carbon flux next to GPP between the terrestrial
ecosystem (the largest organic carbon pool… Oxygen supply is critical to ATP synthesis and CO 2 …

… 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 20 …

… To assess annual soil respiration as a function of carbon supply, we established 36 independent
forest plots arranged as three replicates of four age classes in each of three climatically …

… rather than energy supply. For the purposes of this book, soil respiration is defined as the
production of carbon dioxide by organisms and the plant parts in soil. These organisms are …

… soil microbial activity, and thus the recycling of soil carbon and … stimulates carbon sequestration,
in temperate forest soils where … The concomitant reduction in soil carbon emissions is …

respiration of either roots or pure soil… using other components of the carbon cycle). We examined …

… supply was an important factor in regulating soil respiration on both daily and seasonal
timescales. Moreover, its effect on soil respiration … assimilate supply on soil respiration indicates …

… There is much uncertainty regarding the specifics of phloem loading to roots and how much
respiration responds to fluctuations in carbon supply, and we used a simple approach of …
