The Right-Skewed Distribution of Fine-Root Size in Three Temperate Forests in Northeastern China

The Right-Skewed Distribution of Fine-Root Size in Three Temperate Forests in Northeastern China

Trees can build fine-root systems with high variation in root size (e.g., fine-root diameter) and root number (e.g., branching pattern) to optimize belowground resource acquisition in forest ecosystems. Compared with leaves, which are visible above ground, information about the distribution and ineq...
