1.2 MIP Variable: Total Respiration from Roots as Carbon Mass Flux [kgC m-2 s-1] (raRoot)

Record Label : raRoot

Record Title : Total Respiration from Roots as Carbon Mass Flux [kgC m-2 s-1]

CF Standard Name : surface_upward_mass_flux_of_carbon_dioxide_expressed_as_carbon_due_to_plant_respiration_in_roots

Units of Measure : kg m-2 s-1

Record Description : Total autotrophic respiration from all belowground plant parts. This has benchmarking value because the sum of Rh and root respiration can be compared to observations of total soil respiration.
