Differences in Fine-Root Biomass of Trees and Understory Vegetation among Stand Types in Subtropical Forests.

Variation of total fine-root biomass among types of tree stands has previously been attributed to the characteristics of the stand layers. The effects of the understory vegetation on total fine-root biomass are less well studied. We examined the variation of total fine-root biomass in subtropical tr...
