The relationship between soil CO₂ emission, soil temperature, and soil moisture in dry and wet seasons.


Weather season	Monitoring period	Variable	Soil temperature	Soil moisture

Wet season	September 2012		= 0.2253 = 0.1464	= 0.1955 = 0.2091
	November 2012		= −0.5169 = 0.0001	= 0.1127 = 0.4264
	January 2013	Soil CO₂ emission	= −0.4829 = 0.0004	= 0.2290 = 0.1135
Dry season	April 2013	Soil CO₂ emission	= −0.7431 = 0.0001	= −0.0776 = 0.5558
Dry season	July 2013		= −0.5992 = 0.0001	= −0.2299 = 0.0854
Pooling data throughout the wet and dry seasons			= −0.1119 = 0.0710	= 0.1027 = 0.0980

Note: top values represent Pearson’s correlation coefficient () while bottom values represent probability level at 0.05 ( for each monitoring period, for pooling data throughout wet and dry seasons).
