Soil respiration rates in different types of forests change with the seasons. The study looked at three forest communities and found that soil respiration was highest in August. Soil temperature and air temperature affect soil respiration more than soil moisture. Quercus liaotungensis forests had the highest respiration rates compared to Pinus tabulaeformis and mixed forests. Soil temperature at 10 cm depth was the main factor influencing soil respiration rates. The differences in respiration rates between forest types are due to various factors like microhabitat and species composition.
