Soil respiration across a disturbance gradient in sclerophyllous ecosystems in Central Chile
This research paper examines soil respiration (Rs) across four levels of disturbance in the sclerophyllous ecosystems of the National Reserve Roblería del Cobre de Loncha in Central Chile, finding that higher disturbance levels significantly reduce carbon output and increase vulnerability to predicted climate change.

Partitioning of soil CO2 flux components in a temperate grassland ecosystem
This research paper details the use of an automated multiplexed soil-respiration (SR) system to partition soil CO2 fluxes into root, mycorrhizal hyphae, and heterotrophic components within a UK grassland over a three-month summer period.

Comparing the closed static versus the closed dynamic chamber flux methodology: implications for soil respiration studies
This research paper compares the closed static chamber (CSC) and closed dynamic chamber (CDC) methodologies for measuring soil respiration, finding that the CSC approach can produce comparable results to the CDC system if sampling periods are shortened to prevent CO2 build-up.

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
This research paper examines how the depth of soil collar insertion affects the measurement of soil CO2 efflux across three different ecosystems, finding that collar insertion typically underestimates total soil respiration by severing surface roots.
