Biological and abiotic factors influencing CO2 emissions from different soil layers.

The significant decrease in soil #CO2Emissions with increasing #SoilDepth in old-growth #SubtropicalForests is primarily due to diminished microbial activity and reduced availability of substrates in deeper layers.

The location of the study sites (a) and four encroachment levels of Deyeuxia angustifolia in study plots for (b) unencroached pure Rhododendron aureum communities (E0), (c) mildly encroached mixed communities (30% cover, E1), (d) moderately encroached mixed communities (60% cover, E2) and (e) severely encroached mixed communities (90% cover, E3).

The growth of #RhododendronAureum and its precipitation sensitivity are more influenced by #Elevation, co-regulated by #SoilProperties and plant size traits in alpine tundra; Soil conditions and leaf economic traits influence temperature sensitivity.
