Abstract
The present study was undertaken to investigate the soil respiration of different communities of the boreal forest region in the Gaspé Peninsula. The measurements were done with an absorption method which is described in detail. Productivity of the vegetation in the Gaspé Peninsula is obviously very low. Consequently soil respiration is also very low. Compared with the data obtained with the same method in the temperate zone of middle Europe, our data lie near the lower limit of these values.Keywords
