The land use change from tropical forests to rubber plantations has had a great influence on ecosystem‐level carbon (C) exchange and soil C dynamics. This study aimed to assess the variation of soil respiration and its components in rubber plantations of different stand age. A trenching method was used to partition soil respiration (RS) into autotrophic respiration (RA) and heterotrophic respiration (RH) for 3 years in 12, 24, 32 and 49‐year‐old rubber plantations. Our results showed that RS changed significantly among rubber plantations, with the highest RS in the old‐growth rubber plantation (49‐year plantation, 147.30 ± 6.91 mg CO2‐C m−2 hr−1) followed by the mature (137.16 ± 7.68 and 108.10 ± 4.83 in 24‐year and 32‐year plantations, respectively) and the young (12‐year plantation, 78.43 ± 3.84 mg CO2‐C m−2 hr−1) rubber plantations. RS was significantly and exponentially related to soil temperature (p < .0001) rather than soil water content, which led to higher RS in the rainy season than in the dry season. The contribution of RA to RS was higher in the mature rubber plantation than in the young (27%) and the old‐growth (20%) rubber plantations. The sensitivity of RS to increasing temperature (Q10) was higher in 32‐ and 49‐year plantations than in 12‐ and 24‐year rubber plantations. The largest Q10 value of RH and RA was found in the old‐growth (49‐year plantation, 2.95) and the mature (32‐year plantation, 8.01) rubber plantations, respectively. Our results highlight the importance of environmental factors in determining the variation in RS in rubber plantations with different stand age. However, further studies are still required to elucidate the mechanisms impacting stand age‐related effects on soil respiration, such as the differences in photosynthesis in rubber plantations. Highlights: Soil respiration (RS) in four rubber plantations of different stand age was examined.RS tended to increase with the increasing stand age.The contribution of autotrophic respiration (RA) to RS was higher in the mature stands.Q10 values of heterotrophic respiration (RH) and RA were higher in old‐growth and mature stands, respectively.

Soil carbon stored on the Tibetan Plateau appears to be stable under current temperature, but it may be sensitive to global warming. In addition, different grazing systems may alter carbon emission from subalpine meadow ecosystems in this region. Using a chamber-closed dynamic technique, we measured ecosystem respiration (ER) and soil respiration (SR) rates with an infrared gas analyzer on a perennial grazing meadow (PM) and a seasonal grazing meadow (SM) of Shangri-La in the Hengduan Mountain area. Both PM and SM showed strong unimodal seasonal variations, with the highest rates in July and the lowest in January. Significant diurnal variations in respiration were also observed on PM, affected mainly by air and soil temperatures, with the highest rates at 14:00 and the lowest before dawn. Both ER and SR rates were higher on PM than on SM from June to October, suggesting that the higher grazing pressure on PM increased respiration rates on subalpine meadows. The exponential model F = aebT of soil temperature (T) explained the variation in respiration better than the model of soil moisture (W) (R2 = 0.50–0.78, P < 0.0001), while the multiple model F = aebTWc gave better simulations than did single-factor models (R2 = 0.56–0.89, P < 0.0001). Soil respiration was the major component of ER, accounting for 63.0%–92.7% and 47.5%–96.4% of ER on PM and SM, respectively. Aboveground plant respiration varied with grass growth. During the peak growing season, total ecosystem respiration may be dominated by this above-ground component. Long-term (annual) Q10 values were about twice as large as short-term (one day) Q10. Q10 at different time scales may be controlled by different ecological processes. The SM had a lower long-term Q10 than did the PM, suggesting that under increased temperature, soil carbon may be more stable with reduced grazing pressure.

Background and aims: Drought is predicted to have a profound impact on soil respiration. This study aimed to assess the effects of long-term precipitation decrease on soil respiration in a tropical rainforest. Methods: A precipitation reduction experiment was conducted in a tropical forest in southwest China at the beginning of 2011. Soil respiration and environmental parameters were measured monthly for three years. Results: The continuous precipitation reduction treatment did not affect the seasonal patterns of soil respiration, but it significantly increased soil respiration in the study plot during the rainy season, and the relationship between soil respiration and soil moisture differed in the control and reduction treatment in the rainy season. Compared with the net ecosystem exchange of carbon in this system, the increment of annual soil carbon emissions in the reduction treatment was considerable and should not be ignored. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the responses of soil respiration to precipitation decrease may vary seasonally and the variation of volumetric water content in different seasons may be an important factor leading to the seasonal variation. The variation of soil moisture among different ecosystems as well as in different seasons should be taken into consideration when predicting the future response of soil respiration to drought globally.

Soil respiration, the second largest CO 2 flux in terrestrial ecosystems, involves the microbial respiration of litter from aboveground sources, belowground litter and root respiration, from rhizodeposition. In the subtropical forests of the Ailao Mountain, a chamber with automated CO 2 efflux was set up with two treatments: a control treatment with litterfall to measure the total soil respiration (R T) and a litter removal treatment to measure aboveground litterfall respiration (R L). This study aimed to examine the responses of R L to unexpected heavy snowfall events and soil temperature (ST), soil moisture (SM), rainfall (RF), total litterfall (TL), litter water content (LWC), nitrate nitrogen (NO 3 −-N), and ammonium nitrogen (NH 4 +-N). The period of the study was divided into two: before the heavy snowfall event (BS) and during and after the heavy snowfall event (AS). The rate of R L was slightly decreased in AS (1.18 ± 0.03 μmol CO 2 m−2 s−1) compared with that in BS (1.19 ± 0.02 μmol CO 2 m−2 s−1). The relationships between R L and ST, SM, RF, and LWC, respectively, were all statistically significant (p < 0.05) in both periods. However, the relationships between R L and TL and NH 4 +-N, respectively, were not statistically significant for either period. The relationship between R L and NO 3 −-N was statistically significant for AS but not for BS. The relationship between R L and RF was statistically significant from 2011 to 2018. The temperature dependence of soil respiration was higher in BS than in AS, and the effect of litter removal was 2.55 % and 2.32 % for AS and BS respectively. The results indicate that current global terrestrial models underestimate R L trends for the feedback of global climate change in subtropical forests. Aboveground litterfall respiration (R L) had strong connection with soil temperature, soil moisture, rainfall and litter water content for two periods but not for ammonium nitrogen (NH 4 +-N). Unexpected snowfall events took effects the connection between R L and total litterfall. Heavy snowfall events declined the relationship between R L and nitrate nitrogen (NO 3 −-N).

Climate models predict that droughts will increase in Southeast Asia, yet little is known about how soil respiration (Rs) and its components heterotrophic respiration (Rh) and autotrophic respiration (Ra) will change following drought years. To clarify this issue and to detect underlying mechanisms, we conducted a 2-year field experiment in the seventh and eighth year of long-term artificially droughted plots within a tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna, southwest China. We separated Rh and Ra by trenching and we measured dissolved organic carbon in the soil and microbial biomass. In average, the drought stress, reduced through-fall by 50%, reduced fine root biomass by 36%. Although Ra declined by 35%, active inorganic N and Rh increased by 31% and 29%. Further, the coefficient of determination (R2) between soil microbial community composition, mainly, group-specific phospholipid fatty acid and the variation of Rh was among 17%–59% during the dry and rainy season of 2018. However, changes in dissolved organic carbon, microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, were inconsistent with the increase in Rh. There was an inconsistent significant positive correlation between seasonal change of CO 2 flux and these processes dynamic across 2017 and 2018. Soil temperature, soil moisture, and litterfall jointly determined annual variation in Rs and Rh across two years. These findings have improved understanding of how long-term drought stress influences soil CO2 effluxes via change of soil-based biochemical indicators (like fine root, active inorganic nitrogen, and soil microorganisms). • Through-fall reduction decreased fine root and autotrophic respiration. • Nitrate-N and heterotrophic respiration increased under through-fall reduction. • Effect of through-fall reduction on soil respiration decreased after 6-year. • PLFAs correlated with heterotrophic respiration.
