Measuring and modeling the spectrum of fine‐root turnover times in three forests using isotopes, minirhizotrons, and the Radix model (2010, methodology): “[28] Root turnover time and mean age for long‐lived roots (AL23 and tL23), and site average BCA and BNPP* were estimated using a two‐step approach [Gaudinski et al., 2009; Press et al., 1989; Riley et al., 2009].”
Carbon dynamics in trees: feast or famine? (2012, background): “Similarly, in most forest ecosystems under normal circumstances, a large fraction of new root growth occurs at the expense of recently stored C rather than older stored C (Gaudinski et al. 2009).”
Understanding the roles of nonstructural carbohydrates in forest trees - from what we can measure to what we want to know. (2016, background): “…long-term 13C label studies have demonstrated that stem wood (especially early wood in deciduous trees;Mildner et al., 2014), leaf buds, new leaves and new fine roots (Keel et al., 2007; Gaudinski et al., 2009; Muhr et al., 2016) are built fromNSC-Cderived from amixture of new and older source C.”
