Global Distribution of Root Turnover in Terrestrial Ecosystems

Estimates of root turnover rates were calculated from measurements of live root standing crop and belowground net primary production (BNPP) compiled from the primary literature. Vegetation characteristics, soil properties, and climate conditions were associated with turnover rates to examine patterns and controls for biomes worldwide (Gill and Jackson 2000).

根系周转速率的估算值，基于从原始文献汇编的活根现存量与地下净初级生产力（BNPP）的测定数据计算得到。研究将植被特征、土壤属性与气候条件与周转速率相关联，以解析全球各生物群区的周转格局及其调控机制（Gill和Jackson，2000）。
