Abstract: The respiration rate of soil microorganism under different vegetations and its correlation with ecological factors are studied. The results show that the respiration rate is the highest(17.2μlCO2·g-1dry soil·h-1) in A.chinense soil,and lowest(8.7μlCO2·g-1dry soil·h-1) in Cleistogenes squarrosa soil,being decreased with increasing soil depth.The peak is occured in August,being 28.39μlCO2·g-1 dry soil·h-1.Correlation analysis shows that the respiration rate is positively related to plant biomass and soil conditions(e.g.,moisture-hear regime and nutrient status),and negatively related to soil PH.
