CO2 efflux from soil at three different ecosystems (spruce forest, beech forest, wetland) and from the whole ecosystem at one site (grassland) was measured during campaigns of manual measurements or automated continuous measurements during growing seasons 2008 -- 2012. There were determined factors driving spatial variability and temporal dynamics of CO2 efflux. Soil temperature was mostly the driving factor responsible for temporal dynamics and soil water content contributed to both temporal dynamic and spatial variability. Also the amount of grass or litter affected the variability. We also determined that time of the day when the measurements of soil CO2 efflux are done can influence estimation of seasonal sum of released carbon from soil. Finally, it was determined that changing precipitation pattern with simulated drought in the first half of the growing season has both immediate and long-term impact on CO2 efflux from the grassland ecosystem.
