Soil respiration (Rs), the soil‐to‐atmosphere flux of CO2, is a dominant but uncertain part of
the carbon cycle, even after decades of study. This review focuses on progress in …

Soil respiration is an important component of the carbon (C) cycle and a major contributor to
total ecosystem C efflux. Knowledge of the factors that drive soil respiration in drylands is …

Forest soil CO2 flux measurements are important for studying global climate change.
Current monitoring methods are based on closed gas chambers, which block the wind …

Monitoring of earth-air humidity in soil has revealed extensive rising/falling activity on the
land. Alternation of dry and wet air is the main root cause deterioration in cave wall …

Over the last 100 years a shifting human population has seen large proportions of people
relocating from rural agricultural regions to urban and suburban areas. Extensive …

Subterranean ventilation is a non‐diffusive transport process that provokes the abrupt
transfer of CO2‐rich air (previously stored) through water‐free soil pores and cracks from the …

The diel dynamic of the CO 2 concentration in soils in relation to temperature is not yet fully
understood. Air temperature might control the soil CO 2 concentration due to thermal …

Exploring the short-term fluctuations in soil carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations is critical for
understanding the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle, especially in karst soil due to its vast C …

Abstract Changes in atmospheric pressure continuously ventilate soils and snowpacks. This
physical process, known as pressure pumping, is a major factor in the exchange fluxes of …

Alterations in land use and vegetation cover cause CO 2 transfer not only to the soil surface
but also across soil profiles. To explore the vertical diffusion characteristics of CO 2 in deep …
