Quantitative analysis of the root system of Avicennia alba based on the pipe model theory

Abstract: Reliable estimation of the root biomass is essential to quantify the total amount and proportion of the carbon sink of a forest, especially for mangrove forests that exhibit various extensive root systems. One way to estimate root biomass is to use a quantitative root-system measurement based on the pipe model theory (PMT), which assumes that the total cross-sectional area of roots is identical among the different root-size classes for an individual plant. The PMT states that the cross-sectional area of the tr… Show more

“…Mangrove stands developed from a pioneer phase to a more mature phase based upon the distance from the water or timescale of the accretion processes [37]. A1 and A2 were dominated by A. alba, which is a representative pioneer species at the most foreshore in mangrove forests [60,61]. The seedling layer in A3 was still dominated by A. alba, and the canopy layer in A4 was dominated by A. officinalis, which is also a pioneer species.…”
