Abstract: Abstract Fertilization is a common practice to increase forest productivity; however, the responses of soil respiration (RS) components to the application of inorganic and organic fertilizers and the associated mechanisms are not clear in subtropical forest ecosystems. In this field trial conducted within an intensively-managed Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forest, we aimed to compare the effects of inorganic and organic fertilizers, and their combination on seasonal variations in RS components, i.e., heterotrophic (RH) and autotrophic (RA...
