Mangroves are among the most carbon‐dense ecosystems worldwide. Most of the carbon in
mangroves is found belowground, and root production might be an important control of …

Detailed ground-based quantifications of total carbon stocks in tropical forests are few
despite their importance in science and ecosystem management. Carbon stocks in live …

Aims Plant root system architecture adapts to the prevailing soil environment and the
distribution of nutrients. Many species respond to localised regions of high nutrient supply …

As a result of different types of disturbance, forests are a mixture of stands at different stages
of ecological succession. Successional stage is likely to influence forest productivity and …

Macropores formed by roots are crucial channels for preferential flows in forest soils that are
largely responsible for water percolation and solute leaching. Using dual‐tracer experiments …

This study evaluates a novel method for extracting roots from soil samples and applies it to
estimate standing crop root mass (±confidence intervals) in an eastern Amazon rainforest.• …

Root-induced channels are the primary controlling factors for rapid movement of water and
solute in forest soils. To explore the effects of root distribution on preferential flow during …

Current understanding of litterfall and fine root dynamics in temperate forests is limited, even
though these are the major contributors to carbon and nutrient cycling in the ecosystems. In …

Assessment of environmental impact of coal mining on natural ecosystems and monitoring
of subsequent ecological restoration process of mined areas are essential for devising …

Development of an appropriate scheme to accurately sample root biomass is essential for
accurate estimation of biomass and carbon budget of grassland. This study evaluated …
