When you open a healthy hive in midsummer, you can practically feel the frames of honey and brood cells quivering as you lift them, resonating with the pulse of wingbeats and respiration from clustering bees.
"This produced copious perspirations, so that the air soon became unfit for respiration from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the slaves, of which many died, thus falling victims to the improvident avarice, as I may call it, of their purchasers".
Some investigators argue that respiratory responses produced at the ventral medullary surface are direct and are caused by interference with excitatory and inhibitory inputs to respiration from these vasomotor neurons.
A multi-institutional task force under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science & Technology Directorate (take a breath) has created a hand-held tool which can read pulse, body temperature, and respiration from up to 40 feet away.
We use an algorithm that extrapolates day-time ecosystem respiration from night-time respiration considering temperature sensitivities (Reichstein et al. 2005).
Over a one-year period of time, we monitored soil respiration from a wheat-maize rotation cropping system after five years (once a year) of consecutive biochar application.
OC) was calculated from the whole tablet mixture with all excipients, with the background respiration from the leachate after 48 and 120 h, while the oxygen consumption (OC * (Equation 1) was calculated from the whole tablet mixture with all excipients, with the background respiration from the leachate (Equation 1) subtracted.
Soil respiration from the 5.37m2 1.46m33) soil component was estimated at 23.4 ppm h−1 or 1.28 g CO2 h−1 or 5.7 g CO2 m−2 d−1.
Heterotrophic respiration from these slow pools is dependent on the annual base decay rate, 1.5% per year for the aboveground slow DOM pool and 0.33% per year for the belowground slow DOM pool [20].
On the other hand, observed respiration shows a rather smooth curve (Fig. 1b), which is a consequence of the flux-partitioning method that derives respiration from the measured NEE (Reichstein et al. 2005).
