Seasonal drought shapes the relationship between stem CO2 efflux and belowground respiration in an even-age rubber plantation on Hainan Island, China by Xinwei Guo, Bo Song, Rui Sun, Rui Sun, Guoyu Lan, Guoyu Lan, Bangqian Chen, Bangqian Chen, Chuan Yang, Chuan Yang, Zhixiang Wu, Zhixiang Wu

“…Despite previous studies indicating that a portion of stem CO2 originates from root respiration (Rroot), the seasonal dynamics of Ec and its relationship with belowground respiration remain poorly understood, particularly in tropical regions characterized by distinct dry and wet seasons.MethodsTo address this gap, we investigated Ec in tapping and non-tapped rubber trees, along with environmental factors and physiological traits (sap flow flux density, root respiration, and leaf area index) from 2018 to 2021.ResultsOur results showed that tapping activity increased the Ec of rubber trees compared to non-tapped trees, with increases ranging from 10.37% to 233.66%. …”
