Description: Measurements of 24 hour cycles in soil CO2 flux taken from soil collars in the Belian Carbon plot at Maliau. Measurements were taken from 12 subplots over four days at 5-hourly intervals, ensuring good coverage of the complete 24 hour cycle. Air and soil temperatures, soil moisture content and CO2 flux were taken from each plot at each visit. 9 subplots only have a single total soil respiration collar, but 3 subplots also have soil flux partitioning treatments to separate contributions to total respiration from soil organic matter, mycorrhizae and roots. This data was collected by the 2019 cohort of the Tropical Forest Ecology MRes at Imperial College London.
