Quercus mongolica Fischer ex Ledebour seedlings were planted in open-top chambers exposed to elevated CO2 (EC = 500 mmol mol21) and ambient CO2 (AC = 370 mmol mol21) from 2005 to 2008. Daily, seasonal and inter-annual variations in soil respiration and photosynthetic assimilation were measured during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. EC significantly stimulated the daytime soil respiration by 24.5% (322.4 at EC vs. 259.0 mg CO2 m22 hr21 at AC) in 2007 and 21.0% (281.2 at EC vs. 232.6 mg CO2 m22 hr21 at AC) in 2008, and increased the daytime CO2 assimilation by 28.8% (624.1 at EC vs. 484.6 mg CO2 m22 hr21 at AC) across the two growing seasons. The temporal variation in soil respiration was p
