Improving ecosystem respiration estimates for CO2 flux partitioning by discriminating water and temperature controls on above- and below-ground sources by Shuai Wang, Shujing Qin, Lei Cheng, Kaijie Zou, Chenhao Fu, Pan Liu, Lu Zhang

“…Empirical models for estimating ecosystem respiration (ER) are widely used in CO2 flux partitioning algorithms that partition net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) into gross primary productivity (GPP) and ER due to advantages of simple structures. However, empirical ER models remain limited due to single-source conceptualization that doesn’t discriminate different responses of aboveground respiration (AGR) and belowground respiration (BGR) to environmental factors (i.e., temperature and/or soil moisture). …”
