This study aimed to examine the effects of spatial and temporal variability in edaphic, and
climatic attributeson soil net nitrogen mineralization rate, and to understand the pattern of …

Root decomposition represents a significant C flux in terrestrial ecosystems. Roots are
exposed to a different decomposition environment than aboveground tissues, and few …

Estimates of emissions indicate that if tropical grassland is rehabilitated by oil palm
plantations, carbon fixation in plantation biomass and soil organic matter not only …

The root system dynamics of a plant are very important for definitions of management in the
agricultural and forest area. The root, besides the basic function of sustaining the plant, is …

To examine the effects of vineyard soil management on soil C and N content and quality, we
studied harrowed and grass-covered vineyards on a soil developed on plio-pleistocene …

Invasions of exotic tree species can cause profound changes in community composition and
structure, and may even cause legacy effect on nutrient cycling via litter production. In this …

The fine root systems of three tropical montane forests differing in age and history were
investigated in the Cordillera Talamanca, Costa Rica. We analyzed abundance, vertical …

Fine root (< 2 mm in diameter) distribution, seasonal pattern and net production were
studied during 1999-2001 in 33 year-old plantations of two coniferous trees, Chinese fir …

Decomposition dynamics, and N and P mineralization patterns of leaf litter of Pinus kesiya,
Quercus dealbata, Q. griffithii, Rhododendron arboreum and Schima khasiana were studied …

Nitrogen mineralization was studied in 7-, 13-and 16-year old regrowing forest stands by
determining ammonium-N, nitrate-N, ammonification and nitrification rates during different …
