Forested soils are being increasingly transformed to agricultural fields in response to
growing demands for food crop. This modification of the land use is known to result in …

Partitioning soil CO2 efflux into autotrophic (RA) and heterotrophic (RH) components is
crucial for understanding their differential responses to climate change. We conducted a …

Forests contribute strongly to global carbon (C) sequestration and the exchange of
greenhouse gases (GHG) between the soil and the atmosphere. Whilst the microbial activity …

Tropical vegetation is a major source of global land surface evapotranspiration, and can
thus play a major role in global hydrological cycles and global atmospheric circulation …

Successional and seasonal effects on soil microbial and enzymatic properties were studied
in Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis) plantations in an age sequence of 3-, 7-, 13-, 21-and …

The lack of information on the ways seasonal drought modifies the CO2 exchange between
Neotropical rainforest ecosystems and the atmosphere and the resulting carbon balance …

This paper summarizes currently available data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
African natural ecosystems and agricultural lands. The available data are used to synthesize …

We examined the relationship between soil respiration rate and environmental determinants
in three types of tropical forest ecosystem—primary forest, secondary forest, and an oil palm …

A complete set of equations for below-and above-ground biomass of a natural Eucalyptus
hybrid in Congo was constructed. Heteroscedasticity of data was taken into account by fitting …

Based on the continuous observation of soil respiration and environmental factors in a
maize ecosystem from late April to late September in 2005, the spatial and temporal …
