Reveals seasonal soil respiration patterns in tropical mountain rainforests, indicating vital carbon cycling insights.
tropical forest plays a key role in global c cycle; however, there are few studies on the c budget in the tropical rainforests in asia. this study aims to (i) reveal the seasonal patterns of total soil respiration (R t ), litter respiration (R l ) and soil respiration without surface organic litter (R Nl ) in the primary and secondary asian tropical mountain rainforests and (ii) quantify the effects of soil temperature, soil moisture and substrate availability on soil respiration.
