The fine root (diameter ≤2 mm) is the key plant organ for nutrient and water uptake, and is also important for carbon (C) and nutrient cycling. Global warming has complex effects on vegetation dynamics and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, how warming alters fine-root traits in forest ecosystems remains unclear.
