Respiration rates of soil invertebrates from temperate and tropical zones as measured by infrared gas analysis.
Respiration rates of soil invertebrates from temperate and tropical zones as measured by infrared gas analysis.
Summary: The aim of our investigation was to measure the amount of carbon that is directly contributed by the soil fauna. Therefore a devide to measure the small amounts of CO2 released by soil invertebrates was developed. A commercially available portable photosynthesis measuring system, based on an infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) and designed to quantifity the CO2 uktake to single plant leaves, was modified in such a way that the CO2 production of soil invertebrates could be measured.
