An approach for modelling the mean fine-root biomass of Norway spruce stands
Trees - Structure and Function, 2004 The applicability of a heuristic model for estimating mean fine-root biomass of Norway spruce stands based on the coordinates and the diameters at breast height (diameter at a height of 1.3 m, dbh) of their trees was tested. The model was developed based on the following assumptions which were derived from the literature: (1) the maximum distance the ...

A global budget for fine root biomass, surface area, and nutrient contents [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Global biogeochemical models have improved dramatically in the last decade in their representation of the biosphere. Although leaf area data are an important input to such models and are readily available globally, global root distributions for modeling water and nutrient uptake and carbon cycling have not been available.

Testing collection‐time reduction in fine‐root biomass estimation in Atlantic Forests [PDF]
Applied Vegetation Science, 2022 AbstractAimsFine roots are essential components of the below‐ground layer and play an important role in the carbon cycle. Methods for root extraction and biomass estimation have been proposed, including the temporal prediction method. However, there are doubts if the best model to estimate total root mass varies between study sites. Additionally, there

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 The belowground systems of trees have a major role in forest functioning through absorption of water and nutrient cycling. This study deals with the fine root dynamics including fine root biomass, necromass, production, turnover, and nutrient return in ...

Nitrogen deposition drives the intricate changes of fine root traits
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Increase in nitrogen (N) deposition will cause changes of root morphological and functional traits, thus deeply affecting ecosystem carbon (C) and N cycles.
