摘要
Soil carbon is the largest reservoir of organic carbon on the planet and CO2 production by soil thus has potentially large effects on atmospheric CO2. Carbon sequestration in soil is determined by the metabolic efficiency (substrate carbon conversion efficiency) of soil micro-organisms. That could be measured by calorespirometric methodology (parallel measurement of metabolic heat rate and CO2 production rate) and by theoretical thermodynamic models. Carbon conversion efficiency of the glucose degradation reaction in soil is calculated from both the calorespirometric ratio of heat rate to CO2 rate and from energy and mass balance models combined with calorimetric heat rates. Results obtained, 0.77 and 0.75, are in good agreement.
