Development of optical isotope techniques over the last several years has provided
scientists a set of tools for tracing the transport and cycling of CO2 and water vapor between …

Climate-smart forestry (CSF) is an emerging branch of sustainable adaptive forest
management aimed at enhancing the potential of forests to adapt to and mitigate climate …

Soils can be sources or sinks of carbon depending on the balance between carbon inputs
from plants and losses from the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). A good …

Abstract Evaluation of the temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition
is critical for forecasting whether soils in a warming world will lose or gain carbon and …

We investigated the relationships of net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE), soil
temperature, and moisture with soil respiration rate and its components at a grassland …

Input of organic matter to soil may stimulate microbial activity and alter soil carbon storage
by modifying the mineralization of native soil organic carbon (SOC). Assessing the age of …

Combining air‐water equilibrators with a field deployable cavity enhanced laser absorption
spectrometer (CELAS) can generate precise, high resolution, measurements of dissolved …

Organic carbon (C) sequestration in agricultural soils is regarded as a mean to mitigate
carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration increase in the atmosphere and to secure food …

Summer droughts projected to increase in central Europe due to climate changes strongly
influence the carbon cycle of ecosystems. Persistent respiration activities during drought …

Autotrophic and heterotrophic components of soil CO2 efflux may have differential
