Fig. 5From: Degradation-driven changes in fine root carbon stocks, productivity, mortality, and decomposition rates in a palm swamp peat forest of the Peruvian AmazonRemaining percentage of initial fine root mass of M. flexuosa adults (left) and trees (right) at the undegraded (Intact), moderately (mDeg) and heavily (hDeg) degraded sites. Yt/Y0 is the percentage ratio of remaining dry mass at time t (days) to initial dry mass Y0 and k is the decay rate constant (day−1). Values in grey in parenthesis are the standard error of the coefficients of the models. All coefficients are significant at P < 0.0004Back to article page
