细根

维基百科,自由的百科全书

细根(英语:fine root),是指植物根系中周转较快的那部分根,作为媒介传输土壤中的营养元素及水分至植物中[1]。细根周转(turnover)的过程中会释放大量的进入土壤中,形成大量的土壤有机质。土壤有机质受到环境的影响(气温、水分、肥料)会迅速释放大量的CO2,从而受到了广泛学者的关注。

北方森林(boreal forest)只占陆地土壤面积的15% 却拥有约33%的净初级生产力(NPP),对环境的变化最为敏感[2]。细根通常< 2mm,寿命远远小于粗根,从几个月到几年不等。为了准确估计细根寿命,目前研究通常用直径 < 1mm的细根[3]

研究方法主要有土钻法、内生长法/纱网法、微根管法(Minirhizotron)和同位素法,目前最准确的方法是微根管法,但每种方法仍有各自的利弊[1]。研究表明根系寿命和根系直径、土壤深度呈正相关,与土壤温度、肥性及含水量呈负相关[4]。不同树种的根系寿命也不同,通常落叶性树种与针叶树种相比具有更短的根系寿命[5]
