Small-Scale Forest Structure Influences Spatial Variability of Belowground Carbon Fluxes in a Mature Mediterranean Beech Forest

The tree belowground compartment, especially fine roots, plays a relevant role in the forest ecosystem carbon (C) cycle, contributing largely to soil CO<sub>2</sub> efflux (SR) and to net primary production (NPP). Beyond the well-known role of environmental drivers on fine root productio...
