Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

Land use change from forests to grazing lands is one of the important sources of
greenhouse gas emissions in many parts of the tropics. The objective of this study was to …

The alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has degenerated greatly in
recent decades. The most effective means of restoration for severely degraded grasslands is …

Soil respiration (Rs) plays a critical role in the global carbon (C) balance, especially in the
context of globally increasing nitrogen (N) deposition. However, how N-addition influences …

The dynamics of soil respiration are crucial in understanding carbon cycling and its
feedback to climate change. However, little information exists regarding the response of soil …

Grazing exclusion has been widely used to restore degraded grasslands worldwide. Total
soil respiration (Rs)(consisting of heterotrophic respiration (Rh, microbes and soil fauna …

How and why spatial patterns of soil respiration (SR) emerge and change or persist over
time, and what makes spatial patterning of SR and environment variables interdependent or …

The spatial heterogeneity of soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity pose a great
challenge to accurately estimate the carbon flux in global carbon cycling, which has …

Pulsed rainfall affects both aboveground vegetation dynamics and belowground
biogeochemical processes, such as carbon cycling, in semi-arid regions. In order to study …

Soil carbon flux rates are a crucial metric of carbon cycling that contribute to calculating an
ecosystem's carbon budget, and thus whether it is a source or sink of atmospheric carbon …
