Paper abstract bibtex Development of reliable regional or global carbon budgets requires accurate measurement of soil CO$_{\textrm{2 }}$flux. We conducted laboratory and field studies to determine the accuracy and comparability of methods commonly used to measure in situ soil CO$_{\textrm{2 }}$fluxes. Methods compared include two static techniques, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and soda lime as CO$_{\textrm{2}}$ traps; a multichamber open dynamic system (OC) with an infrared gas analyzer; and a headspace analysis system, with gas chromatograph with circulating fan (GCF) and gas chromatograph without circulating fan (GC), measuring changes in headspace CO$_{\textrm{2}}$ concentration using a gas chromatograph. In the laboratory, we compared NaOH, OC, GCF, and GC using sand-filled cylinders to simulate a soil system. Three concentrations of standard CO$_{\textrm{2}}$ gas (representing low, medium, and high soil-CO$_{\textrm{2}}$ flux rates) entered the cylinders through individually monitored flow meters. Flux rates measured using OC method equaled the actual CO$_{\textrm{2 }}$flux at all three CO$_{\textrm{2 }}$concentrations. Flux rates determined with GC and GCF were <55 percent of the actual flux rate. The percent of actual CO$_{\textrm{2}}$ flux measured increased with increasing CO$_{\textrm{2}}$ concentrations. At all concentrations, NaOH collect between 40 and 47 percent of CO$_{\textrm{2}}$ entering the system. A field study was conducted to verify laboratory results and allow comparison with the soda lime trap (SODA) method. In laboratory and filed studies, all methods detected significant differences in flux rates among the standard CO$_{\textrm{2 }}$concentrations and field sites. Regression analyses showed good relationships between NaOH, SODA, and GC methods with flux rates measured using the OC methods (r$^{\textrm{2 }}$≥ 0.78). Slope values for these regression equations ranged from 0.34 for NaOH to 0.54 for GC and SODA. These results suggest that data collected using the other methods could be standardized to OC flux rates. However, because methodological differences significantly affect CO$_{\textrm{2 }}$flux measurements, care should be used in applying these relationships.
