Foliage and fine root litter: A comparative study in young, natural regenerated stands of European beech and Norway spruce

Original language description

Our research was conducted in young growth stands of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) with similar stand characteristics. The aim of the work was to estimate quantity of aboveground (thin brunches, buds and foliage) and belowground (fine roots) necromass as well as annual input of aboveground and belowground litter. Moreover, to quantify carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content within these compartments. Aboveground litter-fall was collected over five years (2009 - 2013) and annual input of necromass was estimated. At the same time, stocks of fine root biomass and necromass at soil depth 0 - 30 cm were quantified by means of soil coring. Fine root production was measured by in-growth bags. Then fine root mortality was calculated with regard to differences between biomass stocks in consecutive years and annual production. Our study showed that annual aboveground and belowground litter together represented a large proportion of C input (nearly 3,0 t of C ha(-1) per year in be
