Partitioning sources of ecosystem and soil respiration (Reco and Rs) is important for understanding how climate change affects carbon cycling. Plant and microbial biomass analyses and daytime measurements of Reco and Rs were performed for 25 plots in an alpine meadow at elevation 4313 m on the Tibetan Plateau. Plant and microbial biomass were determined by harvesting method and the chloroform fumigation-extraction method, respectively. Respiration fluxes were measured by an automated CO2 flux system (LI-8100, LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA). Soil respiration can be estimated by a linear or exponential relationship between Reco and aboveground plant biomass (AGB). Microbial respiration (Rm) can be estimated by a linear or exponential relationship between Rs and belowground plant biomass (BGB) or by a multiple relationship between Reco and AGB and BGB. Soil respiration (or Rm) is respiration flux when AGB (or BGB) is extrapolated to zero for the linear and exponential regression methods. Similarly, Rm is respiration flux when both AGB and BGB are zero for the multiple regression method. Our findings suggest that the exponential regression method to partition sources of Reco and Rs may be more appropriate compared to other methods for this alpine meadow of Tibet.

A warming experiment with two magnitudes was performed in an alpine meadow of Northern Tibet since late June, 2013. Open top chambers (OTCs) with two top diameters (0.60 m and 1.00 m) were used to increase soil temperature. Soil respiration (Rs) was measured during the growing season in 2013–2014. The OTCs with top diameters of 1.00 m and 0.60 m increased soil temperature by 1.30 and 3.10oC, respectively, during the whole study period, but decreased soil moisture by 0.02 and 0.05 m³ m⁻³, respectively. However, the two patters of OTCs did not affect Rs. These results implied that a higher warming did not result in a higher Rs but a greater soil drying. Therefore, a higher warming may not cause a higher soil respiration, which was most likely due to the fact that a higher warming may result in a greater soil drying.
