In our control experiment, warming (infrared heater) had no effect on aboveground biomass but significantly increased root biomass, which bring us about an idea that global warmig might change shoot-root allocation. Global NPP has been documented. If we can correctly and precisely calculated AGB, (the difference between NPP and AGB should be the root biomass), we can research how the shoot-root respond to climate change in a global change.
Check for a work done by US forestry in East and south Africa. I will look for the email address of the project leader and sent it across.
His name is Carl Trettin ( [email protected]). Just write and introduce yourself and tell him what u want. check this links: radar.jpl.nasa.gov/coastal and data.unep.wcmc.org.datasets/21 .All the best
