Abstract:
      With bare land as CK, a field experiment was conducted to investigate the characteristics of diurnal vari-ation of soil respiration and its relationship with soil temperature of cotton fields in arid irrigated regions by monitoring CO2 content of soil profile. The results indicated that(1)Soil and rhizosphere respiration showed a “V”-type feature of diurnal variation, the minimum value occurred between 16:00~17:00, while the trend of soil microbial respiration was opposite; (2)Soil microbial respiration at the period of soil temperature increasing was higher than that at the period of soil temperatures decreasing. However, rhizosphere respiration displayed an opposite result which formed an obvious counterclockwise hysteresis loop; (3)The contribution percentage of rhizosphere respiration to soil respiration was 47%. The results suggested that differentiating between rhizosphere respiration and soil microbial respiration was a very impor-tant step to establish the model of soil respiration and soil temperature corrclation, and the differences of the impaots of soil temperature on soil respiration should be considered.
