The objective of this study was to compare the dynamic closed and static chamber techniques for the measurement of soil respiration under field conditions. The static chamber method consistently produced lower soil respiration values than did the dynamic closed system and the difference was larger at higher CO2 fluxes. A negative exponential model describes the relation between CO2 fluxes measured by both techniques. A good fit was obtained for measurements on a sandy loam soil (R2 = 0.61) and an organic soil (R2 = 0.74) but parameter estimates were different for each soil.
