Abstract

Regime of precipitation and temperature conditions are key factors that regulate the rate of decomposition of soil organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems. The aim of this work was to assess the effect of the duration of dry periods in summer and different depths of snow cover in winter on heterotrophic soil respiration. The studies were carried out as part of a 2–year field manipulation experiment organized on gray soil (Haplic Luvisol) in the temperate continental climate conditions (southern Moscow region). Three variants were organized: (1) simulation of mild weather with uniform watering of the soil in summer and the absence of freezing in winter, (2) simulating two summer dry periods lasting 1–2 months with natural winter snow cover, (3) simulation of extreme weather with one long (~3 months) dry period in summer and complete removal of snow cover in winter. Heterotrophic soil respiration was measured by the closed chamber method on bare fallow during 2 years of continuous experiment and 1 more year after its completion. Medians of heterotrophic soil respiration for the entire period of the experiment in the three above–mentioned variants of the experiment were 38, 27 and 19 mg C/(m2 h), respectively. Two short dry periods led to an increase in heterotrophic soil respiration by 7–10%, which is associated both with the drying and rewetting cycles of the soil and with an increase in the average summer temperature of a 20–cm soil profile by 1.5°C. The prolonged dry period caused a decrease in heterotrophic soil respiration by 12–16% as a result of low soil moisture. Soil freezing led to a strong decrease in winter CO2 emission from soil, which reached 34–55% in the control variant and 57–72% when the snow cover was removed. The frost period (November–March) contributed from 25–34% without of soil freezing to 14–19% when its presence to the annual CO2 flux. We conclude that the change in the winter temperature regime of the soil due to manipulations with the snow depth led to a more significant change in the annual heterotrophic soil respiration than the lack of precipitations in the summer season.
