A reliable and precise estimate of the temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition is critical to predict feedbacks between the global carbon cycle and climate change. Traditional methods for estimating Q10 includes CDM mode (constant temperature incubation and discontinuous measurements) and VDM mode (varying temperature incubation and discontinuous measurements). According the conclusion of Robinson（2017），over 20 temperature points could get more precision Q10. Which is difficult for traditional measurement. Combining rapidly VCM mode (varying temperature incubations and continuous measurements), PRI-8800 (patented) leads a new method for Q10 estimation. VCM mode eliminates the underestimated errors by both CDM and VDM modes, provide a more accurate and rapid estimation of the temperature response of SOM decomposition and can be used for large-scale estimation of Q10.
PRI-8800 is a new and exciting solution for continuous soil respiration measurements combining varying temperature incubations in lab, either for disturbed soil or undisturbed soil. Which is easy to connect with various GHGs analyzers and isotope analyzers. Special designed cylinders enable to load both disturbed soil and undisturbed soil. Optimized temperature threshold contribute benefit for soil freezing-thawing experiment.
