Building roots in a changing environment: implications for root longevity (2000, background): “The increase in respiration due to soil warming is likely to be short-lived in many species, however, because plants can often acclimatize fairly rapidly to changes in temperature (Atkin et al., 2000).”
Using temperature‐dependent changes in leaf scaling relationships to quantitatively account for thermal acclimation of respiration in a coupled global climate–vegetation model (2008, result): “Moreover, even if R had acclimated in a period less than 10 days, our previous modeling work ( Atkin et al., 2000a ) suggests that it is unlikely that the long-term respiratory CO2 release estimate would have been significantly different from that of our model.”
The C:N:P stoichiometry of organisms and ecosystems in a changing world: A review and perspectives (2012, background): “, 2006), and plant species differ in their capacity to acclimatize their respiration to long-term increases in temperature (Atkin et al., 2000).”
Consistent temperature dependence of respiration across ecosystems contrasting in thermal history (2012, background): “Surprisingly, our analyses also revealed that the Q10 was a constant function of measurement temperature, in contrast to observations in terrestrial plants (Atkin et al., 2000; Atkin & Tjoelker, 2003) and soils (Davidson & Janssens, 2006; Davidson et al.”
The respiratory patterns in roots in relation to their functioning (2002, background): “Acclimation of respiration to the growth temperature results in homeostasis of respiration, such that warm-acclimated and cold-acclimated plants display similar rates of respiration when measured at their respective growth temperatures (Körner and Larcher, 1988; Atkin et al., 2000).”
Foliar respiration acclimation to temperature and temperature variable Q10 alter ecosystem carbon balance (2005, background): “…C exchange rates are known to acclimate with time to prevailing temperatures in plant leaves (Larigauderie & Körner, 1995; Tjoelker et al., 1999a, b; Atkin et al., 2000a), roots (Gunn & Farrar, 1999; Tjoelker et al., 1999a), soils (Luo et al., 2001), and ecosystems (Enquist et al., 2003).”
Impact of soil warming and shading on colonization and community structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in roots of a native grassland community (2004, unknown): “Whereas root respiration seems to acclimate (Atkin et al., 2000), we have only assumptions about AM fungal respiration (Cooper, 1984; Smith & Read, 1997).”
The control of carbon acquisition by roots (2000, background): “growth and ion uptake (approx. 40%O of that imported; Farrar & Williams, 1991; Atkin et al., 2000), although fluxes to symbionts are appreciable”
Root production is determined by radiation flux in a temperate grassland community (2004, background): “Furthermore, Atkin et al. (2000) demonstrated that the Q10 (the proportional increase in respiration for a 10 1C increase in temperature) and speed of acclimation of root respiration is critical when estimating the effects of global warming on CO2 efflux from roots.”
Global terrestrial carbon storage and uncertainties in its temperature sensitivity examined with a simple model (2003, methodology): “The root respiration compilation is based on the studies of Atkin et al. (2000), Ryan et al. (1994), and Sprugel et al. (1995).”
Heterogeneity of individual roots within the fine root architecture: causal links between physiological and ecosystem functions (2007, background): “…root respiration, production, and turnover in forest ecosystems in response to elevated CO2 concentrations, elevated temperatures, or nitrogen (N) deposition should affect ecosystem material balances (Atkin et al. 2000; Eissenstat et al. 2000; Nadelhoffer 2000; Norby and Jackson 2000; Norby 1998).”
Soil CO2 efflux in a boreal pine forest under atmospheric CO2 enrichment and air warming (2004, background): “…quantified here, and although extension, mortality, and respiration in fine roots are known to increase exponentially when soils become warmer (Pregitzer et al., 2000a), acclimation of root respiration to contrasting growth temperatures has been detected in many plant species (Atkin et al., 2000).”
