Zusammenfassung: | During and immediately after labelling of soybeans (Glycine max. L.) in the field by exposure to ¹⁴CO₂, its respiratory deposit into the soil atmosphere, and its liberation from the soil were used in conjunction with estimates of below-ground plant biomass to apportion total soil respiration. Root respiration of soybean plants at stage V₆ was estimated at 4mg CO₂.(g root)⁻¹.h⁻¹. Soil biota, during the same time, contributed 35% of total soil respiration. |
