Abstract [Background] As an essential component of the carbon flux in terrestrial ecosystems, soil respiration plays a critical role in maintaining global carbon cycling and the carbon balance. Exploring the process of soil respiration and its influencing factors is conducive to understanding ecosystem carbon emissions and regulation mechanisms. [Methods] In order to analyze the dynamic characteristics of soil respiration rate (Rs) and its response to the main environmental factors in the dominant plantations in the hilly Loess Plateau region, the Rs of Pinus tabulaeformis and Hippophae rhamnoides plantations were measured using a LI-8100 soil carbon flux measurement system from June 2015 to May 2016. Soil temperature (T) and soil water content (W) were simultaneously monitored. At seasonal and daily scales, there were significant differences in Rs and significant effects of T and W on Rs in the two plantations. In addition, temperature sensitivities of Rs were investigated using the Q10 function at the seasonal scale. [Results] 1) The seasonal dynamic patterns of Rs in P. tabulaeformis and H. rhamnoides plantations were similar, with the respective maxima (2.31 and 2.89 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1) in summer (June-August) and minima (0.60 and 0.65 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1) in winter (December-February); the annual mean Rs in the plantations was 1.36 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 (P. tabulaeformis) and 1.64 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1(H. rhamnoides), with corresponding annual total Rs emissions of 18.90 and 22.81 tCO2·hm-2·a-1. The Rs emission during winter accounted for 14.67% and 12.65% of the annual total emission in P. tabulaeformis and H. rhamnoides, respectively. In addition, the Rs maxima of P. tabulaeformis and H. rhamnoides appeared during 10:00-16:00, and the minima at 06:00 in the diurnal dynamic. 2) At the seasonal scale, at 5 cm depth, Rs was significantly exponentially related with T and negatively linearly related with W (both P<0.01) in the two plantations. Moreover, the temperature sensitivity of Rs in H. rhamnoides (Q10=1.40) was significantly (P<0.01) higher than that in the P. tabulaeformis plantation (Q10=1.34). 3). At the daily scale, the contribution of T to Rs increased when W exceeded 13% and 12% for P. tabulaeformis and H. rhamnoides, respectively. [Conculsions] The results indicate that the response of Rs to T is mainly affected by W in this region. Therefore, to ensure accuracy of the carbon balance budget and improve the regional carbon cycle model for the loess hilly region under conditions of climate change, we should fully consider the effects of T and W on Rs and strengthen observations of soil respiration in winter in future research.
