Root respiration and biomass responses to experimental soil warming vary with root diameter and soil depth

Aims Respiration of sugar maple ( Acer saccharum ) surface fine roots has been shown to partially acclimate to experimentally increased soil temperature. In this study, we assessed how larger roots and roots at deeper depths responded to experimental warming. Methods We quantified specific root resp...

Description
Summary:Aims Respiration of sugar maple ( Acer saccharum ) surface fine roots has been shown to partially acclimate to experimentally increased soil temperature. In this study, we assessed how larger roots and roots at deeper depths responded to experimental warming. Methods We quantified specific root respiration and root biomass for three different diameter classes (
