Root exudation in a sloping Moso bamboo forest in relation to fine root biomass and traits. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2022
Exudation by fine roots generally varies with their morphological traits, but the effect of belowground resource availability on the root exudation via root morphological traits and biomass remains unknown. We aimed to determine the effects of morphological and physiological traits on root exudation rates and to estimate stand-scale exudation (Estand ...

Seasonal Changes and Vertical Distribution of Fine Root Biomass During Vegetation Restoration in a Karst Area, Southwest China [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
In karst ecosystems, plants absorbing smaller amounts of nutrients, owing to shallow soil, show limited growth. In addition, fine roots (diameter < 2 mm) contribute to the regulation of nutrient cycles in terrestrial ecosystems.

Fine root biomass and morphology in a temperate forest are influenced more by the nitrogen treatment approach than the rate

Ecological Indicators, 2021
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 forests. However, traditional experiments of N addition in forests have ignored

Tree Age Effects on Fine Root Biomass and Morphology over Chronosequences of Fagus sylvatica, Quercus robur and Alnus glutinosa Stands. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
There are few data on fine root biomass and morphology change in relation to stand age. Based on chronosequences for beech (9-140 years old), oak (11-140 years) and alder (4-76 years old) we aimed to examine how stand age affects fine root biomass and ...

Biomass, Morphology, and Dynamics of the Fine Root System Across a 3,000-M Elevation Gradient on Mt. Kilimanjaro

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Fine roots (≤2 mm) consume a large proportion of photosynthates and thus play a key role in the global carbon cycle, but our knowledge about fine root biomass, production, and turnover across environmental gradients is insufficient, especially in ...

Fine root biomass and morphology in a temperate forest are influenced more by canopy water addition than by canopy nitrogen addition

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
IntroductionIncreasing atmospheric N deposition and changes in precipitation patterns could profoundly impact forest community structure and ecosystem functions.

Modeling the fine root biomass dispersion using a special influence function [PDF]

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2008
This paper presents a successful application of techniques from the adjustment theory for modeling interaction in fine root biomass dispersion. Using special distance and species dependent weightings the influence function for fine root biomass ...

Fine root morphological characteristics and biomass distribution characteristics of different artificial forests in coastal salt land and their influencing factors [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
To elucidate the ecological adaptations of fine root morphological traits and biomass in tree species with different life forms to coastal saline soil, five species (Robinia pseudoacacia(RP), Sapium sebiferum(SA), Salix matsudana(SM), Quercus virginiana ...

Differences in Fine-Root Biomass of Trees and Understory Vegetation among Stand Types in Subtropical Forests. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Variation of total fine-root biomass among types of tree stands has previously been attributed to the characteristics of the stand layers. The effects of the understory vegetation on total fine-root biomass are less well studied.

Stand fine root biomass and fine root morphology in old-growth beech forests as a function of precipitation and soil fertility

Plant and Soil, 2004
Only very limited information exists on the plasticity in size and structure of fine root systems, and fine root morphology of mature trees as a function of environmental variation. Six northwest German old-growth beech forests (Fagus sylvatica L.) differing in precipitation (520 – 1030 mm year−1) and soil acidity/fertility (acidic infertile to basic ...
