Fine-Root Distribution and Soil Physicochemical Property Variations in Four Contrasting Urban Land-Use Types in South Korea

Lan Thi Ngoc Tran,

Abstract: Urbanization and associated forest conversions have given rise to a continuum of native (forest fragments) and modified (artificial grasslands and perennial ecosystems) land-use types. However, little is known about how these shifts affect soil and fine-root compartments that are critical to a functioning carbon and nutrient circulation system. In this study, soil physicochemical properties, fine-root mass, and vertical distribution patterns were investigated in four representative urban land-use types: grassl… Show more

“…Dead fine roots were distinguished from their living counterparts by their brittle and dark exteriors [46]. The remaining root samples were stratified into four distinct sizes: 0-2 mm (fine), 2-5 mm (small), 5-10 mm (medium), and >10 mm (coarse) [53,73]. Root dry weight was measured for each diameter class using a standard laboratory balance after oven-drying at 65 • C for one week.…”
