Urbanization and associated forest conversions have given rise to a continuum of native (forest fragments) modified (artificial grasslands perennial ecosystems) land-use types. However, little is known about how these shifts affect soil fine-root compartments that are critical functioning carbon nutrient circulation system. In this study, physicochemical properties, mass, vertical distribution patterns were investigated in four representative urban types: grassland (ZJ), agroecosystem (MP),...
Root biomass and distribution are influenced by abiotic factors, such as topography soil physicochemical properties, determining belowground productivity. Hence, we investigated the variation in root vertical based on topography, tree influence index, their relationships, across depths (0–10 cm, 10–20 20–30 cm) topographical gradients a warm-temperate forest Mt. Duryun, Republic of Korea. Two contrasting research sites were established: lower slope oriented at ≤3° an upper with 30°. Each...
Determining litterfall and corresponding element fluxes is valuable in understanding productivity biogeochemical cycling floristically distinct secondary successional zones. Secondary-growth forests form a major portion of the cool-temperate South Korea following decades severe disturbance intensive rehabilitation efforts. This study monitored total fraction-specific mass, flux, nutrient use efficiency patterns secondary-growth broadleaf deciduous forest (hereafter, BDFA) compared these...
The global demand for landscape trees has been amplified with the increasing anthropogenic activity. South Korea also witnessed a surge in plants, among others, Juniperus scopulorum gaining popularity its ecological, economic, adaptability, and management attributes. However, optimum practice high-quality seedling production remains unknown. This research was conducted on one-to-two-years-old two cultivars of J. scopulorum, namely Blue Angel Heaven seedlings, to investigate combined impacts...
Abstract Fine root distribution patterns across land use types and their relationships with soil physicochemical properties are crucial for sustainable management of vegetated urban uses amid urbanization increasing demands green spaces. Thus, we investigated spatial fine roots mass in two diameter classes (0–2 2–5 mm) at six depths different areas, including grassland (ZJ), apple orchards (MP), pine forest (PD) oak (QA). Soil pH, organic matter (OM), potassium, calcium varied significantly...
