Fine roots< 2 mm in diameter play a key role in regulating the biogeochemical cycles of
ecosystems and are important to our understanding of ecosystem responses to global …

Abstract Background and Aims Forest trees directly contribute to carbon cycling in forest
soils through the turnover of their fine roots. In this study we aimed to calculate root turnover …

Global nitrogen (N) deposition patterns have profoundly affected the production and
morphological structure of fine roots, which in turn changed the distribution of carbon in …

Introduction Increasing atmospheric N deposition and changes in precipitation patterns
could profoundly impact forest community structure and ecosystem functions. However, most …

Fine roots form one of the most significant components contributing to carbon cycling in
forest ecosystems. We study here the effect of variation in root diameter classes, sampling …

A review of present modelling approaches for root reinforcement in vegetated steep
hillslopes reveals critical gaps in consideration of plant–soil interactions at various scales of …

This study estimated seasonal variations among several parameters of the fine roots and N
dynamics in Mangifera indica‐based agroforestry systems; we examined homegarden (HG) …

Fine root acclimation to different environmental conditions is crucial for growth and
sustainability of forest trees. Relatively small changes in fine root standing biomass (FRB) …

Tree plantations established on the natural forest lands increasingly expand globally but
their significance in sequestering atmospheric carbon (C) is rarely examined. We …

Net primary productivity (NPP) is a key flux in the terrestrial ecosystem carbon balance, as it
summarizes the autotrophic input into the system. Forest NPP varies predictably with stand …
