Soil respiration plays a significant role in the carbon cycle of Amazonian rainforests. Measurements of soil respiration have only been carried out in few places in the Amazon. This study investigated the effects of the method of ring insertion in the soil as well as of rainfall and spatial distribution on CO 2 emission in the central Amazon region. The ring insertion effect increased the soil emission about 13-20% for sandy and loamy soils during the firsts 4-7 hours, respectively. After rainfall events below 2 mm, the soil respiration did not change, but for rainfall greater than 3 mm, after 2 hours there was a decrease in soil temperature and respiration of about 10-34% for the loamy and sand soils, with emissions returning to normal after around 15-18 hours. The size of the measurement areas and the spatial distribution of soil respiration were better estimated using the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data. The Campina reserve is a mosaic of bare soil, stunted heath forest-SHF and tall heath forest-THF. The estimated total average CO 2 emissions from the area was 3.08±0.8 µmol CO 2 m -2 s -1. The Cuieiras reserve is another mosaic of plateau, slope, Campinarana and riparian forests and the total average emission from the area was 3.82±0.76 µmol CO 2 m -2 s -1. We also found that the main control factor of the soil respiration was soil temperature, with 90% explained by regression analysis. Automated soil respiration datasets are a good tool to improve the technique and increase the reliability of measurements to allow a better understanding of all possible factors driven by soil respiration processes.

Efluxo de CO 2 do solo na Amazônia central: efeitos ambiental e metodológico resumoRespiração do solo possui um importante papel no ciclo do carbono em florestas tropicais Amazônicas. Entretanto poucas medidas de respiração do solo foram feitas. Neste estudo são apontados os efeitos na metodologia de instalação dos anéis no solo, bem como os efeitos da precipitação e a distribuição espacial da emissão de CO 2 na Amazônia central. Os efeitos da inserção de anéis no solo aumentaram de 13 a 20% para o solo arenoso e argiloso, o efeito durou de 4 a 7 horas, respectivamente. Já os efeitos na precipitação, notamos que os eventos abaixo de 2 mm a respiração do solo permaneceu indiferente, mas para precipitação acima de 3 mm, 2 horas depois, houve uma diminuição da temperatura e respiração em 10 a 34% para o solo argilosos e arenosos, retornando a emissão normal após 15 a 18 horas. Para estimar a distribuição espacial da respiração do solo e o tamanho correto das áreas medidas, foram utilizadas as imagens do Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM). Considerando que a Reserva de Campina é um mosaico de solo desnudo, floresta alagável de baixa e alta estatura (SHF e THF). A emissão total média de CO 2 para a área foi de 3.08±0.8 µmol CO 2 m -2 s -1 . Já a Reserva do Cuieiras possui outro mosaico de florestas de platôs, encostas, campinaranas e rip...

“…Due to the role of microorganisms in soil processes, their presence and biomass significantly affect the level of CO 2 emission from soils (Nannipieri et al, 2003), which is the result of root respiration and physiological processes of the microorganisms involved in the decomposition of organic material. Emissions of CO 2 from soils appear to be highly variable in heterogeneous soil micro-sites, and they are influenced by the activity of roots, microbial processes, crop residue and litter content, microclimate and catalytic properties of clay colloids (Matteucci et al, 2000). In this pot experiment, besides two gaseous carbon compounds, only the volume of carbon dioxide emission was affected by the type of nitrogen fertilization (Table 2., Fig.…”

SUMMARYGlobal climate models shows patterns of temperature and precipitation changes worldwide. Soil moisture and type of fertilization are key determinants of the microbial processes that determine the fluxes of gases from soil. There are not many research activities including the assessment how land conversion to the grassland can influence the greenhouse effect. The aim of this study was to determine the biomass content of microorganisms in soil and CO 2 and CH 4 emissions in conditions of diversified nitrogen fertilization and soil moisture in the cultivation of pot grass mixtures. The results of the study were treated by two-factor analysis of variance. The linear correlation between analysed gases and between microbial biomass and CO 2 or CH 4 emissions was performed. The volume of soil microbial biomass in the cultivation of grass mixtures was affected by the type of nitrogen fertilization and the level of soil moisture. Approximately 1.5 times bigger microbial biomass was found after fertilization than under control conditions. The same relationship occurred in the comparison between the microbial biomass during wet and dry conditions. Only the volume of CO 2 emission in this pot experiment was affected by the type of nitrogen fertilization. Higher emission of CO 2 was accompanied by increased emission of CH 4 . In humid conditions, both mineral and organic fertilization affected positively on soil microbial biomass and the volume of CO 2 emission. From the viewpoint of reducing greenhouse gases emission, inorganic fertilizers used in dry conditions during the land conversion to the grassland, would be the best grassland cultivation method.
