AimsAlthough the linkages between aboveground photosynthates production and belowground respiration processes have been well studied, doubts remain as to the extent that photosynthate regulates soil respiration (Rsoil) and its generality throughout the growing season in a given ecosystem. This study aimed to test whether photosynthesis affected Rsoilat the diurnal scale and assess how the relation between them changed with changing vegetation composition.MethodsWe measured Rsoiland gross primary productivity (GPP using eddy covariance) in two consecutive growing seasons (2013–2014) in a desert ecosystem, western China. We compared Rsoilon sunny days with that on adjacent cloudy days in two periods with different vegetation compositions [herbs-shrub coexistence period (HSP) and purely shrubs dominated period (SDP)] to identify how photosynthesis affect Rsoil.ResultsGPP regulated diurnal variations of Rsoilconspicuously in spite of the strong correlation between soil temperature (Tsoil) and Rsoil, but such regulation was limited in HSP. 48.3% of the changes in daytime Rsoilbetween sunny and cloudy days was explained by changes in Tsoiltogether with changes of GPP in HSP. When spring annuals died, no differences in daily amplitude and average of Rsoilbetween sunny and cloudy days were found.ConclusionsOur results suggested that effect of photosynthesis on Rsoilwas not constant throughout the growing season. In the presence of herbaceous plants, Rsoilwas directly related to photosynthesis. These findings highlighted the important role of photosynthesis played in Rsoilregulation and the importance of community composition in determining the extent that photosynthesis affects Rsoil.
