Carbon dioxide fluxes from soil respiration and woody debris decomposition in boreal forests
|
Abstract:
The boreal forest plays a crucial role in the global carbon budget and climatic system because of its large area, great soil carbon storage, and sensitive responses to the global warming. CO 2 fluxes from soil respiration and woody debris decomposition are the largest carbon source to the atmosphere in boreal forest ecosystems. Quantifying these fluxes and understanding the underlying mechanisms are necessary for assessing and predicting the role of boreal forests in the global change. Here we summarized g...
