| Popis: | The broad-leaved and Korean pine mixed forests in the Liangshui National Natural Reserve, China, are important components of boreal forests in areas that are sensitive to global climate change. Respiration rates of excised roots were measured using an oxygen electrode (Hansatech Oxy-Lab 2, UK) to examine the variation in and identify the controlling factors of fine root respiration (Rr) during the growing period (May–October) in 2016. The relationships between Rr and biotic/abiotic factors [e.g., soil temperature, live fine root biomass (LFRB), and the soil carbon index] were subsequently analyzed. The results showed that Rr was significantly higher in the secondary broad-leaved forest (SF) than that in the primary Korean pine forest (PK) (p |
