Fine and coarse roots are key contributors to belowground net primary productivity, and play
critical roles in the biogeochemical cycling of forest and woodland ecosystems. Despite their …

Abstract Background and Scope Because of the crucial role coarse roots (> 2 mm diameter)
play in plant functions and terrestrial ecosystems, detecting and quantifying the size …

The high heterogeneity and diverse management effects on trees in agricultural landscapes
limit the use of standard allometric equations developed for forests; hence the need to …

Peatlands are significant carbon (C) stores, playing a key role in nature-based climate
change mitigation. While the effectiveness of non-forested peatlands as C reservoirs is …

Societal Impact Statement Human interactions with forests have shaped Earth's climate for
millennia and will continue to do so as we target net‐zero emission goals. Accurately …

Quantification of fine root biomass is needed for estimating the role of roots as carbon (C)
stores and sources of C input into the soil, as well as for modelling of forest nutrient cycling …

The boreal forest plays a critical role in regulating global atmospheric carbon dioxide and is
highly influenced by wildfire. However, the long-term recovery of forest carbon (C) storage …

Allometric equations use easily measurable biometric variables to determine the
aboveground and belowground biomasses of trees. Equations produced for estimating the …

Soil carbon (C) and nutrient availability is fundamental to terrestrial biodiversity and
functionality. In recent decades, the restoration of degraded forests has become a major …

Canadian boreal mixedwood forests are extensive, with large potential for carbon
sequestration and storage; thus, knowledge of their carbon stocks at different stand ages is …
