Abstract:

On the basis of international research of soil respiration monitoring technology, an automatic eight-channel long-term soil respiration measurement system was developed by integrating dynamic chamber and infrared gas analyzer. The reliability of the automatic multi-channel chamber system was comparatively tested with LI-8100 in a Robinia pseudoacacia stand at the Xiaolangdi Forest Ecosystem Research Station. The results showed that: The air-tightness, stability and reliability of this system meet the design requirements. The system was able to be used to make automatic, continuous and multi-points measurements that were influenced in significanthy by natural environments. The tendency of diurnal variation of soil respiration rate tested by the automatic multi-channel chamber system was similar with that measured by LI-8100, The measured results of different chambers still had differences. It’s possibly due to spatial heterogeneity of soil respiration.

Key words: multi-channel, soil respiration, automatic long-term observation
