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

The global environment is constantly changing and our planet is getting warmer at an
unprecedented rate. The study of the carbon cycle, and soil respiration, is a very active area …

Globally, the soil is the largest active terrestrial carbon pool in the biosphere, composed of
organic and inorganic carbon. The role of plants in carbon sequestration has been widely …

A growing body of evidence suggests that most of the world's lakes are supersaturated with
CO2 and export significant amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere. Still, the temperature …

Surface soils and their microbiology have been studied for decades. However, subsurface
soil, more broadly referred to as the vadose zone, is of increasing interest to microbiologists …

Soil respiration, the flux of CO 2 from the soil to the atmosphere represents a major flux in
the global carbon cycle. Our ability to predict this flux remains limited because of multiple …

Increasing use of automated soil respiration chambers in recent years has demonstrated
complex diel relationships between soil respiration and temperature that are not apparent …

We seek to understand how biophysical factors such as soil temperature (Ts), soil moisture
(θ), and gross primary production (GPP) influence CO2 fluxes across terrestrial ecosystems …

Recent years have seen a growing interest in measuring and modeling soil CO2 efflux, as
this flux represents a large component of ecosystem respiration and is a key determinant of …

In the long term, all CO2 produced in the soil must be emitted by the surface and soil CO2
efflux ([Formula: see text]) must correspond to soil respiration (Rsoil). In the short term …
