Soil carbon sequestration is perhaps one of the significant functional attributes of below-ground components in an ecosystem, but its quantitative estimation is quite problematic.
To my knowledge, fine roots are good conductors for nutrient foraging and nutrient enrichment in the soil. But in root traits, how much contribution is being made by coarse roots instead of fine roots? What kind of interrelationship takes place with soil carbon sequestration and how do we promote the rate of soil carbon sequestration?
