Spatial variations of soil respiration and temperature sensitivity along a steep slope of the semiarid Loess Plateau.
The spatial heterogeneity of soil respiration and its temperature sensitivity pose a great challenge to accurately estimate the carbon flux in global carbon cycling, which has primarily been researched in flatlands versus hillslope ecosystems. On an eroded slope (35°) of the semiarid Loess Plateau,...
