Effects of Tree Species Diversity on Fine Root Morphological Characteristics, Productivity and Turnover Rates

Fine roots (φ ≤ 2 mm) play an important role in the process of material and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems, but the effect of tree species diversity on the functional characteristics of fine roots is unclear. In this study, 1−7 subtropical communities with different species richness were sele...
