Improved root turnover assessment using field scanning rhizotrons with branch order analysis

Abstract Root turnover is a key process contributing to soil carbon storage, nutrient cycling, and other ecosystem functions. However, quantifying root turnover rates remains highly uncertain and methodologically challenging. Field rhizotrons were employed to quantify root turnover times using media...
