Abstract:
This study is focused on the vertical distributionproduction and turnover of the fine roots in a broadleaved and Korean pine climax forest of the Changbai Mountain Reserve.The results show that the average biomass of fine roots is 827∙8g / m
2.The vertical distribution of fine roots accords with exponential regression curve and abundant fine roots are concentrated in the 0~1 0cm top soil.Soil bulk densitytemperatureand C and N content affect the fine root depth distribution significantly (
P<0∙01).In the broad- leaved Korean pine climax forestthe fine root climax production of the community occurs in July and Octoberbut the dominant arboreal speciesunderstory arboreal species and fine roots of grass have a different production dynamics.It is important to sort the fine root species because accurate fine root production sources have a different fine root dynamics.Based on the dominant arboreal speciesunderstory arboreal species and fine roots of grass dynamicthe annual production of community’ s fine roots is 912·4g / m
