Use of 14C labelling to measure below-ground biomass of mire plants
Saarinen T., Tolonen K., Vasander H. Use of 14C labelling to measure below-ground biomass of mire plants.
Tiivistelmä
Below-ground biomass of dominating vascular plants on a mesotrophic fen and Sphagnum fuscum pine bog was estimated using 14C labelling techniques. Preliminary results show that up to 90% of living biomass of Carex rostrata growing on the fen may be located below ground. Fine roots form the majority of below-ground biomass.
