Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Ice Storm Experiment - fine root biomass and ingrowth

Fine root (< 1mm diameter) biomass and fine root growth were measured in the ISE plots to test the hypothesis that ice damage to the canopy would cause a reduction in root production. These data were gathered as part of the Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study (HBES). The HBES is a collaborative effort at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, which is operated and maintained by the USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
