Background:Soil respiration(S_(R))is a critical process for understanding the impact of climatic conditions and land degradation on the carbon cycle in terrestrial ecosystems.We measured the S_(R) and soil environment...
This study was fully funded by Science and Engineering Research Board(SERB),Govt.of India through Project No.SB/YS/LS-88/2013;Additional financial support received from DST Purse grant and R&D minor grants received from the University of Delhi during the study are also highly acknowledged.
Soil respiration,soil enzymes,and microbial biomass are important in carbon cycling in the terrestrial ecosystem which is generally limited by environmental factors and soil carbon availability.Hence,we tried to asses...
Background:Assessment of carbon pools in semi-arid forests of India is crucial in order to develop a better action plan for management of such ecosystems under global climate change and rapid urbanization.This study,t...
