Chinese Academy of Sciences Temperature sensitivity is often expressed by the relative change of respiration at a temperature change of 10°C, which is called the Q10 value. The Q10 of terrestrial ecosystem respiration (Re) is important for quantifying climate-carbon cycle feedback. Dr. NIU Ben and Prof. ZHANG Xianzhou from the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research (IGSNRR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and their collaborators found warming-induced decline in Q10 is stronger in colder regions than other locations, which may lead to less warming-induced carbon emission than previously assumed. This study was published in Science Advances on April 9.
