Fine root biomass and production regarding root diameter in Pinus densiflora and Quercus serrata forests: Soil depth effects and the relationship with net primary production

This study aimed to examine the effects of soil depth on fine root biomass (FRB) and production (FRP), and determine therelationship between FRP and net primary production (NPP) across two root diameter classes (
