The Dynamic Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Soil Respiration in Different Types of Grasslands in the Barkol Lake Basin by Xiangdong Cao, Chengyi Zhao, Hongtao Jia, Jinyu Yang

“…Five replicates were established for each plot, and the responses of Rs to T and SM were fitted to construct the optimal regression model. The results revealed that (1) the daily average soil respiration was highest in the lowland meadow (0.07 to 5.76 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹), followed by the alpine meadow (−0.57 to 0.95 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹), the temperate desert steppe (−0.45 to 3.0 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹) and the temperate steppe desert (−1.29 to 1.61 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹); (2) the soil respiration rates of the four grassland types were significantly correlated with the temperature in the 5–15 cm soil layer, and the best model was an exponential function; the peak values generally appeared between 13:00 and 17:00 (h), with the minimum values at 2:00 or 8:00 (h); the maximum value was observed in July–August, and the minimum value was observed in October; and the soil respiration in the lowland meadow was higher than that in the other three types of grassland during the same period. …”
