The invention discloses a
soil respiration monitoring method based on field gradient warming, which belongs to the technical field of
soil respiration monitoring, and comprises the following steps: (1) selecting an old forest in a subtropical
evergreen broad-leaved forest to construct an experimental
sample plot, and setting 20 triangular
quadrat in total; (2) carrying out gradient temperature increasing on the quadrats by adopting a triangular frame heating method, setting five gradient temperature increasing treatments, setting four quadrats for each treatment, and collecting the
soil temperature and volumetric
water content of the experimental
sample plot; and (3) arranging a
breathing ring seat which is not embedded into the soil and a
breathing ring seat which is embedded into the soil by 50 cm in each
quadrat, placing the static box on the
breathing ring seats, extracting and storing gas in the static box, detecting the collected gas by using an FID (
Flame Ionization Detector) of a gas chromatograph, obtaining the CO2 concentration, and then calculating
soil respiration and component data thereof. According to the method, the soil
respiration and the component data thereof under gradient temperature increase can be obtained, and
technical support is provided for revealing the response rule and mechanism of the soil
respiration to the gradient temperature increase in the subtropical forest.
