Journal ArticleDOI
Plant inter-species effects on rhizosphere priming of soil organic matter decomposition
TL;DR: The results clearly demonstrated that inter-species interactions can significantly modify rhizosphere priming on SOM decomposition and indicated that the influence of plant inter-specific interactions on the RPE is case-specific and phenology-dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple method for measuring co2 in a continuous air-flow system: modifications to the substrate-induced respiration technique
Weixin Cheng,David C. Coleman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple inexpensive method for measurement of respiration (CO2 evolution) under a continuous air-flow was calibrated against an i.r. gas analyzer and regression equations were developed to apply the method to general soil respiration measurement in the laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhizosphere priming effect of Populus fremontii obscures the temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon respiration
Nicholas E. Bader,Weixin Cheng +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the rates of soil-derived C mineralization in root-free soil and in soil planted with cottonwood (Populus fremontii) trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhizosphere priming effects on soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics among tree species with and without intraspecific competition
TL;DR: The species-specific effects of tree species play an important role in modulating the magnitude and mechanisms of RPEs and the intraspecific competition on soil C and N dynamics.
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.
