Article Synopsis
- The study examined seasonal and daily changes in soil CO2 flux (Fc) at Kaziranga National Park between November 2019 and March 2020, identifying pre-monsoon as the peak season for carbon release.
- Fc showed strong positive correlations with air and soil temperatures, solar radiation, vapor pressure deficit, and photosynthetically active radiation, indicating these elements significantly influence soil respiration rates.
- Diurnal patterns highlighted higher Fc during daytime hours and lower levels at night, emphasizing how environmental factors affect carbon dynamics in subtropical forests.
Spatiotemporal variations of dissolved nutrients were studied along Gautami-Godavari mangrove ecosystem to delineate their sources and fate. Average values of nitrate (NO), dissolved silica (DSi) and phosphate (PO) is 2.09 mg/l, 12.
