Evidence of old carbon used to grow new fine roots in a tropical forest

In this study, we explore how a hurricane disturbance influenced carbon allocation for the production of new fine roots. Before and after a hurricane, we measured the age of carbon (time since fixation from the atmosphere) in fine root structural tissues using natural abundance radiocarbon (14C) mea...
