Soil fluxes refer to the movement of gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, between the soil and the atmosphere. These fluxes are influenced by factors such as soil temperature, moisture content, microbial activity, and plant root activity. Understanding soil fluxes is important for predicting greenhouse gas emissions from soils, which play a significant role in the global carbon cycle and climate change. Researchers study soil fluxes to determine the factors influencing gas exchange, measure greenhouse gas emissions from different land use types, and develop strategies to mitigate these emissions.
