2 mm). An accumulation of 12.47 ± 4.08 Mg ha-1 of litter was determined, where leaves doubled the branch weight. A root-biomass of 20.99 ± 10.24 Mg ha-1 was found in the upper 20 cm of the profile. While the fine roots decreased exponentially with depth, the medium ones were distributed uniformly through the soil profile. The carbon retention was estimated to reach 14.72 Mg ha-1, equivalent to 53.97 Mg ha-1 of not emitted C0(2)]]>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
