<strong>Soil</strong> Respiration Rate –the reality• More CO2 (carbon dioxide) coming off thesoil means the soil is respiring (breathing)more. This indicates either a high rate ofrespiration of existing organisms, or highnumbers, or both.• Having more organisms is a good thing, but ahigh respiration rate also means your soilsystem is burning off carbon…which lowersyour organic matter levels, which is a badthing.• High respiration rate is a result of optimaltemperatures, moisture, and aeration,sometimes as a result of tillage.
