Fine roots form one of the most significant components contributing to carbon cycling in
forest ecosystems. We study here the effect of variation in root diameter classes, sampling …

The role of vegetation in preventing shallow soil mass movement is now fairly well
understood, particularly at the individual plant level. However, how soil is reinforced on a …

This study estimated seasonal variations among several parameters of the fine roots and N
dynamics in Mangifera indica‐based agroforestry systems; we examined homegarden (HG) …

Root development can alter the structure of soil and its hydraulic properties, which in turn
can affect runoff generation processes. Although some experimental studies have examined …

Many non-native tree species have been introduced to Europe to improve forest productivity.
It is assumed that some of these species are better able than native species to mitigate …

In karst ecosystems, plants absorbing smaller amounts of nutrients, owing to shallow soil,
show limited growth. In addition, fine roots (diameter< 2 mm) contribute to the regulation of …

The dry forests are the type most widely distributed vegetation in the tropics, and studies
aimed at quantifying the carbon stock in these forests are important for it to be quantified …

Background and aims The influences of succession and species diversity on fine root
production are not well known in forests. This study aimed to investigate:(i) whether fine root …

An essential carbon (C) pool of forest ecosystems is stored in belowground tree biomass;
however, data about belowground C and nutrient accumulation is scarce. It is crucial to …

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 …
