Carbon balance of Arctic tundra under increased snow cover mediated by a plant pathogen (2011)
Journal Article
Olofsson, J., Ericson, L., Torp, M., Stark, S., & Baxter, R. (2011). Carbon balance of Arctic tundra under increased snow cover mediated by a plant pathogen. Nature Climate Change, 1(4), 220-223. https://doi.org/10.1038/nclimate1142

Climate change is affecting plant community composition(1) and ecosystem structure, with consequences for ecosystem processes such as carbon storage(2-4). Climate can affect plants directly by altering growth rates(1), and indirectly by affecting pre...

Soil respiration: implications of the plant-soil continuum and respiration chamber collar-insertion depth on measurement and modelling of soil CO2 efflux rates in three ecosystems (2011)
Journal Article
Heinemeyer, A., Di Bene, C., Lloyd, A., Tortorella, D., Baxter, R., Huntley, B., …Ineson, P. (2011). Soil respiration: implications of the plant-soil continuum and respiration chamber collar-insertion depth on measurement and modelling of soil CO2 efflux rates in three ecosystems. European Journal of Soil Science, 62(1), 82-94. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2389.2010.01331.x

Key uncertainties remain in accurately measuring soil respiration, including how the commonly-used technique of collar insertion affects measured soil and root-derived CO(2) fluxes. We hypothesized that total soil respiration is frequently under-esti...
