Two methods of estimating fine root production and turnover are compared for 13 forest ecosystems exhibiting a wide range in form (NH4+ vs. NO3-) and quantity of available N. The 2 methods are by comparison of seasonal maxima [max] and minima [min] in biomass and by N budgeting. Both methods give similar results for stands with low rates of nitrification. The budgeting method predicts higher fine root turnover and productivity than the max-min method for systems with significant rates of nitrification.
