Fig. 5

Remaining 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 < 0.0004
