Resource Description
Title:
Fine root functional traits in Matrix and Core plots
Short Name:
Fine root functional traits in Matrix and Core plots
In this dataset, we compiled fine root functional traits measured on individual trees on five elevational levels, in Matrix plots (1000 m, 2000 m, 3000 m) and in Core plots (1500 m, 2500 m), to find out how they vary along elevation.

Title
:
Absorptive fine root fraction
Description
:
Fine roots were morphologically separated into absorptive and transportive fine roots. Both fractions were dried and weighted. The dry weight ratio of the absorptive fraction to the sum of both fractions was calculated.
