Variation in the aboveground stand structure and fine-root biomass of Bornean heath (kerangas) forests in relation to altitude and soil nitrogen availability

Variation in the aboveground stand structure and fine-root biomass of Bornean heath (kerangas) forests in relation to altitude and soil nitrogen availability

Key message Borneo’s tropical heath (kerangas) forest has limited soil nutrient availability, and high variation in aboveground structure and fine-root biomass. This variation depends on altitude and soil nitrogen availability. To elucidate the biotic and abiotic factors affecting the variation in f...
