Abstract:This paper analyzed seasonal dynamics of soil respiration and CO 2 release rate of litter decomposition through alkaline absorption methods in Lymus chinensis community and the relationship between soil respiration and aboveground biomass, litter decomposition rate and environmental factors. The relationship between CO 2 release rate of litter decomposition and environmental factors were also discussed. The results were showed as followed: (1) The seasonal dynamics of soil respiration showed a single-peak...
