Abstract: Soil respiration is the primary path by which CO2 fixed by land plants returns to the atmosphere, and a key process in relation to the global change. The objective of this paper is to provide a brief scientific assessment on the effects of soil respiration, then find the relationship between land use and soil carbon sequestration, especially the influence of vegetation rehabitation. This study was conducted at the Heshan Interdisciplinary Experimental Station (112˚54’ E, 22˚41’ N), Chinese Academy of Sciences in Guangdong province, P R. China. The experimental area is typical of the region with low hills (peak elevation of 98 m) and small catchments (each having an area of about 5–8 ha). Trend surface analysis was used to quantify the soil CO2 emission, A model which included multivariate of environmental factors was constructed as follow:

X=0.05194X1+0.06588X2+0.03668X3+0.02910X4-0.00723X5-0.00260X6+0.03640X7-2.39649

Y=-0.02692X1+0.04777X2+0.07208X3-0.01516X4+0.03760X5-0.00892X6-0.03561X7+ 5.956623

Z1= 589.950261X -361.233304 Y + 60.661379 X2- 536.311504 X×Y-115.118974 Y2 +2075.431054

Z2 = 670.690726X- 276.622127 Y + 114.687170 X2-744.721084 X×Y-744.721084Y2 +2323.099949

where: X and Y are public factors; both of which are synthesis of all the environmental factors. X1 is air temperature()X2 is wet-bulb temperature()X3 is absolute humidity(%)X4 is dry-bulb saturated vapor press(hpa)X5 is relative humidity(%)X6 atmosphere pressure (hpa)X7 is ground temperature().

Z1 is the flux of soil CO2 emission at soil surface (mg•m-2•h-1), while Z2 is the flux of soil CO2 emission at 5cm deep in the soil (mg•m-2•h-1).

Key words: Forest soil CO2 emission; Trend surface analysis; Subtropical forest soil of South China
