This publication explores the impact of climate change and land use on soil respiration across northern Wisconsin from 1972 to 2001. It examines the effects of land-use changes and forest management on ecosystem respiration and carbon fluxes within various forest ecosystems. The studies assess moisture sensitivity, age-related changes, and seasonal variations in carbon exchange, highlighting how these factors influence soil respiration and overall ecosystem health. By providing insights into forest carbon dynamics, this research aims to enhance understanding of forest management and climate interactions.

Regulation of ecosystem respiration Asko Noormets The University of Toledo
Regulation of ER - AFM summary Ts explained ~43% of variation in ER (range 8-82%) SWC explained 8% (range 0-21%) • M-sensitivity occurred in: • all age groups • both forest types (hardwoods & conifers) • M-sensitivity was: • Greatest in Willow Creek & Sylvania sites • Intermediate in IRP, IHW, YJP-Baraga & YHW • Not significant in other sites (12 site-years)
Moisture-sensitivity of ER Moisture response was: • non-linear • correlated with well-defined moisture optimum • correlated with bi-modal SWC distribution
What are the other factors? • Substrate availability? • Auto- vs. heterotrophic? • Chemical vs. physiological control?
Seasonality of ER • Seasonal cycle of ER parallels the cycle of soil moisture (most mature stands) • Seasonal cycle in ER goes against the cycle of soil moisture (some young stands)
Seasonality of ER • Seasonal cycle of ER parallels the cycle of soil moisture (most mature stands) Hypothesis: Moisture-limited ER • Seasonal cycle in ER goes against the cycle of soil moisture (some young stands) Hypothesis: Substrate-limited ER
Phenology: physical vs. physiological control&auto- vs. heterotrophic processes
