Abstract
The growth of fine roots (≤ 2 mm diameter) in a tropical dry forest on recent dune sand has been monitored for 2 years during the dry season-wet season transition, using root-ingrowth bags buried for short time intervals. In both years, most root growth was concentrated in one brief period after the beginning of rains, and it is estimated that the fine root system of the forest can be fully re-deployed before the start of water percolation through the soil. In an accompanying field experiment, root-ingrowth bags were protected from rainfall and treated with distilled water or simulated throughfall solution (...)
