Abstract

Respiration of soil heterotrophs—mainly of bacteria and fungi—is a substantial part of carbon balance in terrestrial ecosystems, which tie up organic matter decomposition with the rise of atmospheric CO 2 concentration. Deep understanding and prediction of seasonal and interannual variation of heterotrophic and autotrophic components of CO 2 efflux from soil is limited by the lack of long-term, full-year measurements. To better understand the impact of current climate changes on CO 2 emissions from soils in the mixed forest and mowed grassland, we measured CO 2 efflux every week for 2 years. Heterotrophic (SOM-derived + leaf litter) and root-associated (root with rhizosphere microorganisms) components were partitioned by the root exclusion method. The total CO 2 efflux from soil was averaged 500 g C m −2 yr −1 in the forest and 650 g C m −2 yr −1 in the grassland, with shares of the no-growing cold season (Nov–Mar) of 22% and 14%, respectively. The heterotrophic component of CO 2 efflux from the soil averaged 62% in the forest and 28% in the grassland, and it was generally stable across seasons. The redistribution of the annual precipitation amounts as well as their deficit (droughts) reduced soil respiration by 33–81% and heterotrophic respiration by 24–57% during dry periods. This effect was more pronounced in the grassland (with an average decline of 56% compared to 39% in the forest), which is related to lower soil moisture content in the grassland topsoil during dry periods.
