A new perspective on soil heterotrophic respiration
A new modelling perspective on soil heterotrophic respiration from our group by Dr Alon Nissan quantifies the changes in global respiration that may expected under a future climate, with dramatic consequences in the Arctic.
Soil heterotrophic respiration is a large unknown in the carbon budget of Earth and at the same time an important flux affecting CO2 in the atmosphere and the role of soil as a carbon sink or source. A recent new modelling perspective on soil heterotrophic repiration from our group published in external pageNature Communications quantifies the changes in global respiration that may expected under a future climate. The research results were highlighted by external pageSwissInfo and ETH News.
