Nitrogen availability exerts a multifaceted control over soil respiration, the emission of CO₂ driven by root metabolism and microbial decomposition. Inputs of N—via atmospheric deposition, ...
Soil respiration, the flux of carbon dioxide from the soil surface to the atmosphere, represents the second largest terrestrial carbon exchange after photosynthesis. It comprises two principal ...
Respiration is a series of reactions, but this summarises the overall process. Human muscle can respire anaerobically for short periods of time - even though the process is relatively inefficient, ...
