Temporal changes of fine root overyielding and foraging strategies in planted monoculture and mixed forests

Temporal changes of fine root overyielding and foraging strategies in planted monoculture and mixed forests

Abstract Background Mixed forests are believed to enhance ecosystem functioning and sustainability due to complementary resource use, environmental benefits and improved soil properties. The facilitation between different species may induce overyielding. Meanwhile, the species-specific fine root for...
