Fine roots are an essential part of plant that absorbs water and nutrients from soil is the focus of our study. The present study was conducted in central Himalaya in the two banj oak (Quercus leucotricophora) forests. The objective of the study was to estimate fine root mass, productivity, turnover and nutrient dynamics. Fine roots samples were collected following sequential coring method over one year on monthly basis from three soil depths i.e. 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm with the help of 8 cm diameter corer. Total mass (3.99-4.71 Mg ha-1) varied significantly (p<0.05) throughout season, depths and sites. Biomass (3.35- 3.88 Mg ha-1) was also significantly higher (p<0.01) than necromass (0.64- 0.83 Mg ha-1). Values of both biomass and necromass were found decreasing with soil dept... view more»
