emission from the surface of gray forest and soddy-podzolic soils under meadow and forest vegetation were determined in field and laboratory experiments. In the field, a new modification of the substrate-induced respiration (SIR) method was applied. According to this method, the contribution of root respiration was estimated at 41–50% for meadow cenoses and 33% for forest cenoses; similar values were obtained in the course of separate incubation of roots and soil in laboratory (42–57% and 29–32%, respectively) and with the use of the laboratory version of the SIR method (35–40% and 21–31%, respectively). The analysis of difference between the values of root respiration and microbial respiration obtained by the field and laboratory methods for the same experimental plots and the comparison of advantages and disadvantages of these methods made it possible to outline the ways for the further improvement of the field version of the SIR method. |
