Root systems of plants are highly plastic and responsive to environmental factors. However, little is known about the effects of regeneration methods on root morphology and growth. Here, root ingrowth cores were used to assess root traits (diameter, dry weight, length, surface area, volume, specific root area, and specific root length) in clearcuts or partial cuts, both with and without competing vegetation control, as well as in an uncut control. It was found that silvicultural treatments only affected mean root diameter, possibly through changes in the plant community or through changes in the soil characteristics affecting root traits.<\/p>\n
