Goldberg, Stefanie D; Zhao, Yongli; Harrison, Rhett D; Monkai, Jutamart; Li, Yuwu; Chau, Kating; Xu, Jianchu, 2018, "Replication Data for: Soil respiration in sloping rubber plantations and tropical natural forests in Xishuangbanna, China", https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/SQA0DU, World Agroforestry - Research Data Repository, V1, UNF:6:KYUrfRb7smCJ5e5HUnG22A== [fileUNF]
Soil respiration (SR) plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. The widespread and continued conversion of tropical forests to plantations is expected to drastically alter CO2 production in soil, with significant consequences for atmospheric concentrations of this cruci... |

Kim, Kwangchol; Wang, Ming-cheng; Ranjitkar, Sailesh; Liu, Suhong; Xu, Jianchu; Zomer, Robert J, 2018, "Replication Data for: Using leaf area index (LAI) to assess vegetation response to drought in Yunnan province of China", https://doi.org/10.34725/DVN/XYOU4Q, World Agroforestry - Research Data Repository, V1
Climatic extremes such as drought have becoming a severe climate-related problem in many regions all over the world that can induce anomalies in vegetation condition. Growth and CO2 uptake by plants are constrained to a large extent by drought. Therefore, it is important to under... |
