| Abstract: | CO 2 is the key gas of the greenhouse ones, the effect of its radiation on temperature ascent is 60% of the total greenhouse gases. The elevating CO 2 concentration influences to a great extent the future climate warming in a regional or global scale. Forest is the main part of carbon cycling in the land ecosystem.. Monitoring CO 2 absorption and emission in the forest ecosystem play a non\| fungible role in study on the global change. Gongga Mountain is located in the southeast margin of the Tibetan Plateau, and there exist intact vertical vegetation zonality, which is advantageous for measuring soil CO\-2 emission on each vertical forest zonality and researching the ecological factors of soil respiration.The east slope of Gongga Mountain develops 5 natural forest vertical zones from lower to higher altitudes: secondary forest, ever\|greened and deciduous broad\|leaved mixed forest, broad\|leaved and coniferous mixed forest, coniferous forest and alpine shrubs. Based on the two\|year's measurement, the soil respiration of each forest averaged: 5 488, 6 344, 5 912, 4 176 and 3 864μmol CO 2/(m 2·s); the flux of soil CO 2 emission was arranged: 208 628, 241 169, 224 746, 158 752 and 146 891kg CO 2/(hm 2·d), respectively. |
