In forest ecosystems, the rapid turnover of fine roots (≤ 2 mm in diameter) is a major
pathway of carbon and nutrient flow from plants to the soil. This study was conducted to …

This study estimated seasonal variations among several parameters of the fine roots and N
dynamics in Mangifera indica‐based agroforestry systems; we examined homegarden (HG) …

Purpose Soil moisture (ie, the changes in the gravimetric soil water content) redistribution is
closely linked with root distribution and preferential flow in soils. This study aimed at …

Preferential flow is expected to provide preferential channels for plant root growth and
variations in soil water flow, but few studies were conducted to imply the impacts of these …

Variation in fine root biomass (FRB) and turnover rate (TOR) were examined in four land use
systems at two altitudes by using ingrowth core method. The aim of the study was to analyse …

Grewia optiva Drummond is one of important agroforestry tree species grown by the farmers
in the lower and mid-hills of western Himalaya. Different models viz., monomolicular, logistic …

Aim of study: The study was conducted to characterize the impacts of plant roots systems
(eg, root length density and root biomass) on soil preferential flow in forest ecosystems. Area …

Psidium guajava Linnaeus., popularly known as 'Apple of Tropics' is one of the major fruit
crops undertaken on the bouldery riverbed lands of North-Western Himalayan region …

Urbanization and associated forest conversions have given rise to a continuum of native
(forest fragments) and modified (artificial grasslands and perennial ecosystems) land-use …

Preferential flow plays a key role in soil hydrological processes in arid and semi-arid areas
of opencast coal mine waste. Inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can …
