摘要：
The aim of this study was to compare fine root (≤2 mm diameter) traits (i.e. biomass distribution and architecture) of three tree species (Alniphyllum fortunei, Liquidambar formosana and Cyclobalanopsis glauca) growing in a mixed-species stand in a subtropical forest. Fine root samples were collected using soil cores. The collected samples were scanned with the Win-RHIZO system to analyse architectural parameters and were then oven-dried to determine dry mass. Fine roots of the three species were mainly distributed in the top 15 cm of soil and...
