Estimating heterotrophic respiration at large scales: challenges, approaches, and next steps

Creator:: Bond-Lamberty, Ben, Epron, Daniel, Harden, Jennifer, Harmon, Mark E., Hoffman, Forrest, Kumar, Jitendra, David McGuire, Anthony, and Vargas, Rodrigo
Abstract:: Heterotrophic respiration (HR), the aerobic and anaerobic processes mineralizing organic matter, is a key carbon flux but one impossible to measure at scales significantly larger than small experimental plots. This impedes our ability to understand carbon and nutrient cycles, benchmark models, or reliably upscale point measurements. Given that a new...
