Q10 of Rh and Ra from 149 papers

jinshijian commented 5 years ago

I am done with the Q10 collection, I got totally 252 sites from 149 papers (but not every site reported Q10 for Rs, Rh, and Ra, see figure below, n<252).
For sites not directly reported Q10, I wonder whether we can re-simulate the relationship between Rs/Rh/Ra ~ Tsoil (or air temperature)to get the Q10 values.
To tested that, based on the reported Q10 from papers, I compared reported Q10 and calculated Q10.
It looks like calculated Q10 and reported Q10 are highly correlated, but the regression line does not close to 1:1 line.
Mean values of Q10 for Rs, Rh, and Ra are 2.60, 2.45, and 3.27 (if only use reported data from paper), 2.53, 2.47, and 2.82 (if use Q10 calculated based on the Rs/Rh/Ra ~ Tsoil relationship).
It looks like there is no significant difference between Rh, Ra, HC (heterotrophic/Rs ratio), and RC(autotrophic/Rs ratio)among different partition methods (how to separate Rh from Rs, by vision, but not tested yet).
BSV (Barren or Sparsely Vegetated) and SAV(Savanna) tend to have lower HC comparing with other Biome groups (by vision, but not tested yet).

It should be BSV and SAV tend to have lower RC rather than HC.

@jinshijian OK cool! I'm thinking about skipping out on my conference tomorrow, so maybe we could meet Tuesday afternoon?

@bpbond Sure, I am available whole day, just let me know when you are available. Thanks, Jinshi
