Comparison of measured mean soil respiration and corresponding modeled mean derived from the days with no occurrence of missing hourly value over 24-hour time period, and corresponding soil temperature (Ts) and soil moisture (VWC) in 2008.

The monthly mean is based on daily mean values for both soil temperature and soil moisture and on daily total for soil respiration. Modeled soil respiration is derived from empirical logistic model (equation 1).
