Different responses of soil respiration to environmental factors across forest stages in a Southeast Asian forest
Abstract Soil respiration (SR) in forests contributes significant carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial ecosystems and is highly sensitive to environmental changes, including soil temperature, soil moisture, microbial community, surface litter, and vegetation type. Indeed, a small change in SR m...
