Oszacowanie biomasy korzeni w drzewostanach sosnowych Borów Lubuskich

Paper presents the results of assessment of root biomass in Scots pines from the Bory Lubuskie forests. For an absence of original formulae for that region, allometric equations and root to shoot ratios taken from literature were applied. Average belowground biomass in the analysed stands amounted between 30,062 and 39,819 t/ha depending on the applied method. In general the older the stand as well as the more moist and fertile the habitat were, the higher values of the roots biomass were obtained.
