Gas exchange between soil and atmosphere represents a major component of global
greenhouse gas fluxes. Chamber methods and micro-meteorological methods are well …

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 microbial communities mediate the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). The
amount of carbon (C) that is respired leaves the soil as CO2 (soil respiration) and causes …

Climate warming is predicted to affect temperate forests severely, but the response of fine
roots, key to plant nutrition, water uptake, soil carbon, and nutrient cycling is unclear …

Global warming has the potential to increase soil respiration (RS), one of the major fluxes in
the global carbon (C) cycle. RS consists of an autotrophic (RA) and a heterotrophic (RH) …

Although numerous studies have examined the individual effects of increased temperatures
and N deposition on soil biogeochemical cycling, few have considered how these …

Climate warming may induce shifts in soil microbial communities possibly altering the long-
term carbon mineralization potential of soils. We assessed the response of the bacterial …

Most soil respiration measurements are conducted during the growing season. In tundra and
boreal forest ecosystems, cumulative winter soil CO2 fluxes are reported to be a significant …

Climate models predict warmer winter in temperate regions, but little is known about the
temperature sensitivity of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) mineralization at low …

Changes in characteristics of snowfall and spring freeze–thaw-cycle (FTC) events under the
warming climate make it critical to understand biophysical controls on soil CO2 efflux (RS) in …
