Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionFine roots are the critical functional organs of plants to absorb water and nutrients from the soil environment, while the relation between fine root morphological characteristics and yield & quality has received less attention for ...

Trees, Forests and People, 2020 This study assessed the effects of two vegetation management treatments (black polyethylene mulch and a control treatment) on tree growth, fine root biomass of trees and of competing vegetation, earthworms, and physiochemical soil properties in a 10 year-

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2022 Elevated [CO2] can increase rice biomass and yield, but the degree of this increase varies substantially among cultivars. Little is known about the gene loci involved in the acclimation and adaptation to elevated [CO2] in rice. Here, we report on a T-DNA insertion mutant in japonica rice exhibiting a significantly enhanced response to elevated [CO2 ...

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2010 Little information on fine roots that play an important role in nutrient cycling was available in tropical rainforests. Distribution of fine root production and effects of selective logging on root biomass and nutrient content change were studied in the ...

Fine root biomass and production in Scots pine stands in relation to stand age [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2001 We determined fine root biomass and production of 15-, 35- and 100-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands during three growing seasons. Fine roots were sampled by the soil core method. Mean (+/- SE) annual fine root biomass of Scots pine in the 15-, 35- and 100-year-old stands was 220 +/- 25, 357 +/- 21 and 259 +/- 26 g m(-2), respectively ...

Fine root biomass and turnover in southern taiga estimated by root inclusion nets
Plant and Soil, 2010 Fine roots play an important part in forest carbon, nutrient and water cycles. The turnover of fine roots constitutes a major carbon input to soils. Estimation of fine root turnover is difficult, labour intensive and is often compounded by artefacts created by soil disturbance.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Trees can invest up to one-third of the carbon (C) fixed by photosynthesis into belowground allocation, including fine root exudation into the rhizosphere.

Fine root biomass in gaps of Terra Firme forest in eastern Amazonia
Revista de Ciências Agrarias - Amazon Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, 2014 Fine roots (< 5 mm) contribute to the uptake of water and nutrients by plants and play important roles in biogeochemical cycling. Nevertheless, little is known about the influence of logging on the production of these roots. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mass of fine roots in a ‘Terra Firme’ forest in the municipality of Moju, state of Para,
