Description
Overview
GAOTek soil respiration meter is designed to measure soil respiration accurately. This process is crucial in the carbon cycle within soil ecosystems, resulting from the assimilation, dissimilation, and balance of soil carbon. It represents the main route through which carbon returns from terrestrial ecosystems to the atmosphere, showcasing the vitality of life within the soil. Precise measurement of soil respiration is essential for assessing biological processes. By monitoring soil respiration and its associated parameters, we can estimate how roots and soil microorganisms respond to climate change, providing valuable insights into their reactions within biological systems.
