Microtopographic variation in soil respiration and its controlling factors vary with plant phenophases in a desert–shrub ecosystem

Soil respiration (<i>R</i><sub>s</sub>) and its biophysical controls were measured over a fixed sand dune in a desert–shrub ecosystem in northwest China in 2012 to explore the mechanisms controlling the spatial heterogeneity in <i>R</i><sub>s</sub> and...
