Abstract

The use of measurements on the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of roots in competition experiments with two plant species is suggested. If the root-CEC differences between the two species are not too small, measurement of this parameter offers a very simple way to determine the separate contributions of the two plant species in the total root biomass of the mixture. This ‘root-CEC method’ can be applied to total root yields as well as to detailed root-zone studies.
