Influence of biochar and nitrogen on fine root morphology, physiology, and chemistry of Acer mono

Abstract Fine roots play an important role in the overall functions of individual plants. Previous studies showed that fertilization and available soil resources have a notably profound effect on fine root, but there is lack of study centered on how fine root morphology, physiology, and chemistry re...
