Very fine roots respond to soil depth: biomass allocation, morphology, and physiology in a broad-leaved temperate forest (2010, background): “Several studies of temperate tree species have shown that fine root turnover time tends to increase with depth, with the most rapid fine root turnover occurring in surface soil (Gaudinski et al. 2001; Baddeley and Watson 2005; Joslin et al. 2006).”
Influence of Environmental Variability on Root Dynamics in Northern Forests (2009, background): “Smallerdiametered roots have shorter lifespans than larger-diametered roots (Coleman et al., 2000; Kern et al., 2004; Baddeley and Watson, 2005) and are more metabolically active (Nadelhoffer and Raich, 1992; Pregitzer et al.”
Dynamics of Fine Root, Fungal Rhizomorphs, and Soil Respiration in a Mixed Temperate Forest: Integrating Sensors and Observations (2008, background): “Previous studies have reported a wide range in the rates of fi ne root production and decay (Hendrick and Pregitzer, 1992; Fitter et al., 1996; Pregitzer et al., 2002; Ruess et al., 2003; Baddeley and Watson, 2005; Majdi and Andersson, 2005).”
