| Research Abstract |
Tree roots and litter are main component of below-ground C stock in the forest. Although the non-destructive monitoring of below-ground C balance and its response to the warming are important for estimation of current/future environment of our forests, the usable technique has not been developed yet. In this study, I developed the new rhizotron system for non-destructive monitoring of C and C-related root traits by application of NIR spectral imaging technique. I concluded that the warming responses of total C and the related traits such as live status and specific root length were able to be estimated by combination use of VIS and NIR image.
