Abstract:Temperature and moisture levels in the soil are two of the most important factors that determine the rate of soil respiration. Changes in the microclimate of the soil throughout the year play an essential part in determining seasonal fluctuations in the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted from the soil at individual locations, and climatic variances because varying rates of soil respiration at distant sites. In forest ecosystems, one essential step in the cycling of carbon is the transfer of carbon dioxid… Show more
