Summary of points
·
The eastern
·
Drier conditions affect plant and soil microbial processes,
including emissions of CO2, CH4, NO and N2O
·
CO2 emission were lower and drier regions
·
CH4, NO and N2O emissions were higher in drier regions,
surprisingly – this phenomena is yet to be confirmed and explained in full
