Dependence of carbon sequestration on the differential responses of ecosystem photosynthesis and respiration to rain pulses in a semiarid steppe

S Chen, G Lin, J Huang… - Global Change Biology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Precipitation pulses play an important role in regulating ecosystem carbon exchange and
balance of semiarid steppe ecosystems. It has been predicted that the frequency of extreme
rain events will increase in the future, especially in the arid and semiarid regions. We
hypothesize that large rain pulses favor carbon sequestration, while small ones cause more
carbon release in the semiarid steppes. To understand the potential response in carbon
sequestration capacity of semiarid steppes to the changes in rain pulse size, we conducted …
