Species- and community-level patterns in fine root traits along a 120 000-year soil chronosequence in temperate rain forest

2011-07-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Below-ground plant functional traits regulate plant-soil interactions and may therefore strongly influence ecosystem responses to global change. Despite this, knowledge of how fine-root functional traits vary among plant species and along environmental gradients has lagged far behind our understanding of above-ground traits. 2. We measured species- and community-level root and leaf trait responses for 50 temper...
