Distribución de la biomasa y densidad de raíces finas en una gradiente sucesional de bosques en la Zona Norte de Costa Rica (original) (raw)

Fine roots biomass and density distribution in a succesional gradient in the Costa Rican northen region. This study evaluated root biomass distribution, root area index (RAI) and longitudinal density (RLD) of fine roots (< 5 mm) in a succesional gradient of tropical rain forest in Florencia de San Carlos, Costa Rica. The variation of these parameters was evaluated as a function of soil depth and succesional stage. Root biomass as well as RAI and RLD, decreases as soil profile increases and correlates with changes in the evaluated physical properties of soil. Biomass
