Furthermore , the global CO2flux from root respiration is estimated to be about 18 Pg Ca- 1, which is an order of magnitude larger than that produced by anthropogeni

Tree root respiration has significant seasonal dynamics with respiration greatest during the growing season and

Methods used to measure tree root respiration include root exclusion methods ,in vitroroot techniques , stable or radioactive isotope methods andin situcuvette methods.
