Soil Respiration in Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest from Upland and Floodplain sites 1990-1992

This study is designed to evaluate total soil respiration among stages of forest succession in upland secondary and floodplain primary succession, and in relation to the impact of additions of carbon substrates of differing decomposibilities to the forest floors of these successional stages. The inverted bucket, soda-lime procedure was used to obtain weekly estimates of total soil respiration for three years during the growing season.
