Influence of environmental factors on autotrophic, soil and ecosystem respirations in Canadian boreal forest

Ecosystem respiration (Reco) and its components, the autotrophic respiration (Ra) and soil respiration (Rs) are the essential indicators of the global carbon cycle. They are represented as functions of either temperature or soil moisture, or a combination of both in the widely-used Earth System Mode...

Influence of environmental factors on autotrophic, soil and ecosystem respirations in Canadian boreal forest

Thus, it is difficult to evaluate the influence of other environmental factors (such as, precipitation, soil temperature, dissolved oxygen level and oxidation reduction potential (ORP)) on Ra, Rs and Reco.
