Capturing the Scale Dependency of Erosion-Induced Variation in CO2 Emissions on Terraced Slopes

Net soil CO2 emissions are not independent of topography but tend to decline with increasing slope gradients. Such decline has been attributed to increased runoff and greater soil loss on steep slopes, leaving the soil less habitable for microorganisms. However, the specific variations of slope grad...
