Response of Soil Respiration to Snowfall in a Kubuqi Salix Plantation Forest of During Freeze-thaw Period by WANG Jixuan, LAN Xiaozhen, PEI Zhiyong, ZHANG Junyao, WANG Xinping, LI Ying, WANG Haichao, SUN Xiaotian, SUN Kai

“…[Conclusion] Snowfall in winter can provide water for vegetation growth in early spring, and it regulates the carbon budget in arid and semi-arid regions; stubble levelling and land preparation can impede the release of carbon during the freeze-thaw period in arid and semi-arid areas and indirectly slow down the loss of carbon from the soil, thus contributing to the regulation of the carbon budget of the ecosystem.…”
