Background and Aims Forest trees directly contribute to
carbon cycling in forest soils through the turnover of their
fine roots. In this study we aimed to calculate root turnover rates of common European forest tree species and to
compare them with most frequently published values.
Methods We compiled available European data and
applied various turnover rate calculation methods to the resulting database. We used Decision Matrix and
Maximum-Minimum formula as suggested in the
literature.
Results Mean turnover rates obtained by the combination of sequential coring and Decision Matrix were
0.86 yr−1 for Fagus sylvatica and 0.88 yr−1 for Picea
abies when maximum biomass data were used for the
calculation, and 1.11 yr−1 for both species when mean
biomass data were used. Using mean biomass rather
than maximum resulted in about 30 % higher values of
root turnover. Using the Decision Matrix to calculate
turnover rate doubled the rates when compared to the
Maximum-Minimum formula. The Decision Matrix,
however, makes use of more input information than
the Maximum-Minimum formula.
Conclusions We propose that calculations using the Decision Matrix with mean biomass give the most reliable
estimates of root turnover rates in European forests and
should preferentially be used in models and C reporting.
