Fine Root Production_2011

Estimates of fine root production made using minirhizotrons on weekly intervals during the 2011 growing season beneath trees growing at the terrace, forest and treeline sites. Units are mm2 of projected fine root area per minirhizotron. The minirhizotrons were installed in September of 2009 and the understory vegetation growing above them was removed by hand on weekly intervals in 2010 and 2011.
