Fine root dynamics in the Boreal Forest of northern Saskatchewan, Canada
The study of fine roots (FR) (roots < 2 mm in diameter) in the boreal forests has become a focus of many forest researchers in the past decade in an effort to better understand belowground processes and improve current carbon (C) models to better predict possible C sinks and sources. The objectives …

Fine root dynamics and resource uptake in a South Ecuadorian mountain rainforest as dependent on elevation
Tropische Bergregenwälder erstrecken sich über große Höhenstufen und sind damit unterschiedlichen klimatischen Bedingungen ausgesetzt. Eine charakteristische Veränderung dieser Ökosysteme ist die Abnahme der oberirdischen und die Zunahme der unterirdischen Biomasse mit ansteigender Meereshöhe. …

Fine Root Dynamics in a Pinus palustris Mill. Ecosystem: The Role of Sampling Interval and the Soil Environment
… We examined the impact of sampling interval on fine root production and mortality estimates by comparing data from a weekly minirhizotron sampling regimen to subsets of the same data representing biweekly, monthly, bimonthly, and quarterly sampling regimens. We also investigated possible sources …

Soil resource heterogeneity and site quality in Southern Appalachian hardwood forests: Impact of decomposing stumps, geology and salamander abundance
… to total carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools and fine-root dynamics, 2) compare and contrast the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) vs. a soil auger for estimating soil depth and site quality and 3) to evaluate how eastern red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) affect N-availability. For …
