Contribution of fine tree roots to the silicon cycle in a temperate forest ecosystem developed on three soil types

The role of forest vegetation in the silicon (Si) cycle has been widely examined. However, to date, little is known about the specific role of fine roots. The main objective of our study was to assess the influence of fine roots on the Si cycle in a temperate forest in north-eastern France. Silic...
