Description
Soil respiration data was acquired and analyzed as described in Vargas-Terminel et al.[1]. Briefly, soil respiration was obtained by measuring changes in CO2 concentrations with a portable soil flux system attached to a static chamber covering a portion of soil. Each measurement cycle in soil lasted 3 mins and was done monthly during a four-year period in 8 to 12 locations within three sites of tropical dry forest in Northwestern Mexico (a recent abandonment, a mid-secondary forest and an old-growth). Also, simultaneous soil temperature and volumetric soil water content measurements were carried with a thermocouple thermometer and a soil moisture sensor, respectively. Finally, soil respiration flux was calculated with commercial soil data processing software.
