Is resistant soil organic matter more sensitive to temperature than the labile organic matter?
A recent paper by Knorr et al. (2005a) suggested that the decomposition of resistant soil organic matter is more temperature sensitive than labile organic matter. In Knorr et al.’s (2005a) model, the reference decay rate was presumed to be same for all pools of soil carbon. We refit Knorr et al.’s (2005a) model but allow both the activation energy and the reference decay rate to vary among soil...

متن کاملThe temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon decomposition is not related to labile and recalcitrant carbon
The response of resistant soil organic matter to temperature change is crucial for predicting climate change impacts on C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the response of the decomposition of different soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions to temperature is still under debate. To investigate whether the labile and resistant SOC components have different temperature sensitivities, soil ...
متن کاملEffects of Manipulated Above- and Belowground Organic Matter Input on Soil Respiration in a Chinese Pine Plantation
Alteration in the amount of soil organic matter input can have profound effect on carbon dynamics in forest soils. The objective of our research was to determine the response in soil respiration to above- and belowground organic matter manipulation in a Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis) plantation. Five organic matter treatments were applied during a 2-year experiment: both litter removal and ...
متن کاملTemperature sensitivity of decomposition in relation to soil organic matter pools: critique and outlook
Knorr et al. (2005) concluded that soil organic carbon pools with longer turnover times are more sensitive to temperature. We show that this conclusion is equivocal, largely dependent on their specific selection of data and does not persist when the data set of Kätterer et al. (1998) is analysed in a more appropriate way. Further, we analyse how statistical properties of the model parameters ma...
