Fine root turnover
M Lukac - Measuring Roots: an updated approach, 2012 - Springer
Fine roots constitute an interface between plants and soils and thus play a crucial role in
forest carbon, nutrient and water cycles. Their continuous growth and dieback, often termed …

Modelling fine root biomass of boreal tree stands using site and stand variables
Quantification of fine root biomass is needed for estimating the role of roots as carbon (C)
stores and sources of C input into the soil, as well as for modelling of forest nutrient cycling …

Variations in fine root dynamics and turnover rates in five forest types in northeastern China
N Wang, C Wang, X Quan - Journal of forestry research, 2020 - Springer
Abstract Quantifying fine root (≤ 2.0 mm in diameter) distribution and turnover is essential
for accurately estimating forest carbon budgets. However, fine root dynamics are poorly …
