Relating fine root biomass to soil and climate conditions in the Pacific Northwest

Forest Ecology and Management, 2007
Abstract The additive contribution of fine root biomass for Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco var. menziesii) and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) to the stand average fine root biomass were estimated for eight conifer stands in the Pacific Northwest.

Fine root biomass, distribution, and production in young pine-hardwood stands

New Forests, 1995
Patterns of fine root biomass, production, and distribution were estimated for pure stands and mixtures of three-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) with red maple (Acer rubrum L.) or black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) on the Virginia Piedmont to determine the role of fine roots in interference between pine and hardwood tree species.

Biomass and production of fine roots in Japanese forests

Journal of Forest Research, 2007
To better understand the control of fine-root dynamics in Japanese forests, we reviewed studies conducted in Japan on fine-root biomass and production. Most of the data on fine-root biomass were obtained for conifer plantations in limited regions; the average fine-root biomass of dominant trees ranged from ∼50 g m−2 for Pinus species (n = 3) to ∼600 g ...

Biomass of Fine Roots in a White Spruce Plantation

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1972
Biomass of fine roots (≤3 mm diameter) in a white spruce (Piceaglauca (Moench) Voss) plantation in Maine was estimated at 696 ± 224 g/m2 or 3 kg per tree. Data consisted of 10 samples collected in midsummer from the top 45 cm of an imperfectly drained, silt loam, alluvial soil.

Estimating Fine-Root Production and Mortality in the Biomass Plantations

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2013
Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.), silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.), and cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr.) are short-rotation woody crops with potential use for biomass plantations. The study of fine-root production and mortality in these intensively managed crops is important to understand carbon and nutrient cycling in these systems.

Fine Root Biomass, Turnover and Litter Production

2009
Fine roots are part of the regenerative system of trees. The annual renewal of fine roots can represent an important sink for assimilates in forest ecosystems (Agren et al. 1980). Estimates for the production of fine roots range between 5 and 70% of the total net primary production of trees (Santantonio 1990). Thus, fine root turnover may equal or even

Thinning-induced decrease in fine root biomass, but not other fine root traits in global forests

Journal of Environmental Management
In forest ecosystems, changes in the expression of tree absorptive root traits following management interventions are expected to influence post-thinning forest structure and function. Fine root traits are expected to be especially responsive to forest thinning-one of the most common forest management interventions and the focus of our research here ...
