Table S1. Adjusted R2 and RMSE values of four nonlinear models to estimate response of soil respiration(Rs) to soil temperature(Ts) and of two nonlinear models to estimate responses of normalized soil respiration(Rs_normalized, the ratio of measured Rs to estimated Rs from Ts) to volumetric soil water content(Ɵ) at an approximately 57-year old Korean pine plantation on the Mt. Taehwa Seoul National University Forest, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea.
