Background and aims Nutrient availability is a key regulator of soil respiration.
Anthropogenic activities have dramatically accelerated the inputs of reactive nitrogen (N) …

Although the effects of nitrogen (N) fertilization on soil microflora have been well studied, the
effects should be verified across soil types and N-added levels. To understand the impacts …

Quantifying soil respiration (R s) and its components [autotrophic respiration (R a) and
heterotrophic respiration (R h)] in relation to forest management is vital to accurately …

Cunninghamia lanceolata is an important timber species and has been widely cultivated in
subtropical China. However, monoculture successional patterns lead to multiple ecological …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the largest carbon (C) flux from terrestrial ecosystems to the
atmosphere. Predictions of Rs and associated feedback to climate change remain largely …

Alley cropping systems (ACS) are regarded as a sustainable land-use alternative that
provides ecosystem services, assuming that beneficial tree effects extend towards crop …

Converting natural forests to intensively managed plantations markedly alters soil carbon
(C) dynamics. However, the impact of such land-use change on soil respiration (RS) …

Croplands play a vital role in regional carbon budgets. We hypothesized that biophysical
factors would be important for soil respiration in a wheat-maize rotation cropping system …

As one of the most important drivers of global climate change, land use change (LUC) has
markedly altered the regional and global carbon (C) cycles. However, the geographic …

Higher CO2 emissions and lower crop productivity are becoming thorny problems and
restricted sustainable development of agriculture in arid inland areas. Intercropping has …
