Abstract:
Soil samples for fine-root analyses were taken during the 2017 SoilForEUROPE field sampling campaign with the aim to assess whether tree species mixing influences fine-root biomass and length. This dataframe contains the fine-root biomass and fine-root length data, separately for absorptive and transport fine roots as well as by tree species. These data were used to calculated total and species-specific fine-root biomass (FRB) and root length density (RLD).

Temporal extent:
For each plot, 5 soil cores were taken at three depth increments (0-10, 10-20, 20-30 cm) for each of the respective five subplots ("tree triplets"). See Wambsganss et al. 2021, Journal of Ecology for detailed description of field sampling and laboratory analyses.
