Fine root biomass in two black spruce stands in interior Alaska: effects of different permafrost conditions

Fine root biomass in two black spruce stands in interior Alaska: effects of different permafrost conditions

Key message In black spruce stands on permafrost, trees and understory plants showed higher biomass allocation especially to ‘thin’ fine roots (diam.   <   0.5   mm) when growing on shallower permafrost table. Black spruce ( Picea mariana ) forests in interior Alaska are located on permafrost and...

Zusammenfassung:Key message In black spruce stands on permafrost, trees and understory plants showed higher biomass allocation especially to ‘thin’ fine roots (diam.   <   0.5   mm) when growing on shallower permafrost table. Black spruce ( Picea mariana ) forests in interior Alaska are located on permafrost and show greater below-ground biomass allocation than non-permafrost forests. However, information on fine roots (roots
