TL;DR: In this paper, three determinant factors in decomposition patterns of soil organic matter (SOM): temperature, water and carbon (C) inputs were studied. But the authors focused on the role of the above-defined environmental factors on the variability of soil C dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of substrate availability on the temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter decomposition
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of substrate availability on the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration in several different kinds of soils and found that increased substrate availability had a significant positive effect on temperature sensitivity, as measured by soil Q10 values.
Continuous measurements of soil respiration with and without roots in a ponderosa pine plantation in the
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured CO2 concentration at various depths in the soil and calculated surface CO2 efflux based on CO2 gradients and diffusivity in a young ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuous measurements of soil respiration with and without roots in a ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured CO 2 concentration at various depths in the soil and calculated surface CO 2 efflux based on CO 2 gradients and diffusivity in a young ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influences of canopy photosynthesis and summer rain pulses on root dynamics and soil respiration in a young ponderosa pine forest.
TL;DR: The seasonality of fine root dynamics with soil respiration in a ponderosa pine plantation located in the Sierra Nevada of California and how canopy photosynthesis influences fine root initiation, growth and mortality in this ecosystem was linked.
