Terrestrial plant and soil respiration, or ecosystem respiration (Reco ), represents a major CO2 flux in the global carbon cycle. However, there is disagreement in how Reco will respond to future global changes, such as elevated atmosphere CO2 and warming. To address this, we synthesized six years (2007-2012) of Reco data from the Prairie Heating And CO2 Enrichment (PHACE) experiment. We applie...

In the title compound, [Co(C57H52N6O6)], the central CoII atom is coordinated by four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin core and one O atom of the crown ether. The complex has a distorted porphyrin core, with mean absolute core-atom displacements of 0.14 (10) (Ca), 0.20 (10) (Cb), 0.24 (4) (Cm) and 0.18 (10) Å (Cav), respectively. The axial Co-O bond length is 2.3380 (15) and the average Co-Np b...
