This study was designed to examine soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux characteristics of diurnal and seasonal variation, thus obtaining estimates of carbon balance of <em>Kobresia pygmaea</em> meadow in Qinghai-Tibet plateau. The results showed that the soil respiration of diurnal and seasonal rate changed little in growing season and was mainly affected by temperature, and single peak curve that showed afternoon appeared.

The variation range of <em>Q</em><sub>10</sub> ranged from 1.28 to 2.34, which was sensitive to temperature in green-up period and late growth stage, and decreased in growth peak period.
