Fine root productivity and turnover of ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizaltree species in a temperate broad-leaved mixed forest

Advancing our understanding of tree fine root dynamics is of high importance for tree physiology and forest biogeochemistry. In temperate broad-leaved forests, ectomycorrhizal (EM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) tree species often are coexisting. It is not known whether EM and AM trees differ syste...
