The overall effect of N application on fine root turnover rate, as well as its effects across varying N forms, ecosystem types, soil depths and fine root diameter (mm).

💻 The effects of nitrogen (N) deposition on fine root dynamics in #TemperateEcosystems

Results:
1️⃣ #NApplication → #FineRootBiomass ⬇️, #FineRootTurnover rate - ;
2️⃣ Response primary determinants:
① mean annual temperature
② duration
③ N application rates
