Carbonate precipitation by soil microbes has generated major concern recently because of the potential for mitigating the challenge of increasing CO2 level; however, while desert soil microbes have the capacity of carbonate formation, it is unknown if they can deposit atmospheric carbon dioxide. We isolated soil bacteria from the Mu Us Desert in northern China to perform an experiment of carbonate...
Soil respiration (Rs), conventionally considered as net soil CO2 flux, is an important link in the terrestrial carbon cycle. However, existing estimates of Rs in drylands may be erroneous, because of the abiotic soil CO2 flux. This may seriously hamper our understanding of the carbon cycle of desert ecosystems. In this study, we monitored CO2 flux of natural and sterilized soils, and obtained the...
Modifications of rainfall patterns are expected to accompany global climate changes. It has been suggested that in dry regions changes in soil carbon emission induced by precipitation will affect soil carbon storage and atmospheric CO2 concentration. However, our understanding of the responses of soil carbon emission [often as soil respiration (RS)] to rainfall pulses is still limited regarding changes...
