CO<sub>2</sub> flux determination by closed-chamber methods can be seriously biased by inappropriate application of linear regression

Closed (non-steady state) chambers are widely used for quantifying carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fluxes between soils or low-stature canopies and the atmosphere. It is well recognised that covering a soil or vegetation by a closed chamber inherently disturbs the natural CO<sub>2&...
