Respiration rates of natural zooplankton communities were measured for diel cycles in two lakes. Distinct diurnal cycles were observed in Embalse Rapel with high respiratory rates for the spring cladoceran dominated ...

Successional agroforestry systems (SAFS) mimic the structure of natural forests while providing economical outputs. This study clarifies how carbon cycling and carbon sequestration change during successional development ...

Grasslands comprise 85% of Southern Patagonia land area and play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. We evaluated seasonal dynamics to identify differences in soil respiration rates between contrasting grasslands ...

We measured CO(2) efflux from wood for Eucalyptus in Hawaii for 7 years and compared these measurements with those on three-and four-and-a-half-year-old Eucalyptus in Brazil. In Hawaii, CO(2) efflux from wood per unit ...

Aerobic respiration is a process, where energy rich compounds are enzymatically hydrolyzed and oxidized. A part of the energy released is trapped in the form of ATP and made available for use in energy consuming processes ...

The effect of exercise on mitochondria respiration was studied in gastrocnemius muscle of ovariectomized rats, pseudopregnant rats, and estrous rats. The estrous cycles were followed by vaginal smears. Rats were made ...
