Vertical root distribution in six agroecosystems in a savanna´s acrisol of Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico ; Distribución vertical de raíces en seis agroecosistemas en un acrisol de la sabana de Huimanguillo, Tabasco, México

Objective: We studied the density of length of thin roots (DLRD), less than 6 cm thick, in six agroecosystems that develop in an acid soil characteristic of the Sabana de Huimanguillo, Tabasco, Mexico, an “acahual” was taken as a reference and characterized floristically, identifying 33 species. Design / methodology / approach: A description of a soil profile was made, taking samples from each horizon to perform physical and chemical analyzes. The DRLD was estimated by the monolith method, considering four depths (0-10, 10-20, 20-30 and 30-40 cm), six samples were taken per agroecosystem. Resu... Mehr ...
