Variations in biomass, production and respiration of fine roots in a young larch forest
Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 2021 Root respiration (R-r) plays a crucial role in the global carbon balance, because R-r accounts for about a half of soil respiration in typical forest ecosystems. Plant roots are different in metabolism and functions according to size. Fine roots, which are typically defined as roots < 2 mm in diameter, perform important ecosystem functions and ...
