Abstract:
The impact of global warming on soil respiration is strongly related to the characteristics
of deep-soil carbon and may differ with soil depth. Environmental parameters can affect
the rates of soil CO2 respiration not only temporally at daily and seasonal scale, but also
spatially in vertical and horizontal dimensions. Therefore, it is important to evaluate soil
subsurface CO2 production and investigate the seasonal response of deep-soil respiration
to different environmental conditions. In this respect, accurate techniques used to monitor
the soil CO2 concentrations in the soil profile offer the opportunity to identify localized
sources and potential sinks in the soil, and to understand the processes that control CO2
production and emission.
