Abstract:Fine root distribution patterns across land use types and their relationships with soil physicochemical properties are crucial for sustainable management of vegetated urban land uses amid urbanization and increasing demands for green spaces. Thus, we investigated soil properties and spatial distribution of fine roots mass in two diameter classes of fine roots (0–2 and 2–5 mm) at six soil depths across different land use types in urban areas, including grassland (ZJ), apple orchards (MP), pine forest (PD) and o… Show more
