Sensitivity of soil respiration to moisture and temperature

The sensitivity of soil respiration to moisture and temperature was evaluated in three soils from the Atlantic temperate humid zone (Galicia, NW Spain) dedicated to different types of land use (forest, grassland and cropland). Samples of the soils were incubated in the laboratory for 42 days under d...
