Seasonal variations in nocturnal
aboveground forest level respiration were measured using static, automated
foliage and stem chambers in the Yamashiro Experimental Forest (YEF), a
broadleaved secondary forest in Kyoto,
Japan. The
growth component of the respiration during the growing season equaled 12% of
the total annual aboveground nocturnal forest level respiration in the YEF.
These findings suggest that growth respiration is an important component of
total respiration in similar forests.
