Resumen

Se estudió la distribución de la biomasa de raíces finas, medias y gruesas, la concentración carbono orgánico del suelo (COS), la densidad aparente (Da), los almacenes de COS, en los primeros 90 cm de profundidad en tres bosques con predominio de encino (Quercus sp.) ubicados en la zona centro de México (Morelos). La edad estimada de los árboles de los tres bosques fue (a) ≈ 40 años o maduro, ≈ 20 años o medio y ≈ 10 años o joven. En general, la concentración de COS y los almacenes de COS decrecieron a medida que lo hacía la profundidad del suelo, en tanto que la Da aumentaba. Más de la mitad del COS almacenado se encontró en los primeros 30 cm del perfil. La biomasa de raíces finas presentó un patrón de disminución exponencial con la profundidad, mientras que la biomasa de las raíces medias y gruesas tuvo un patrón irregular, pero siempre con tendencia a disminuir a medida que lo hacía la profundidad. En los bosques de las tres edades indicadas, la biomasa de raíces finas, medias y gruesas presentó mayor correlación con la Da que con los almacenes de carbono orgánico del suelo. Los coeficientes de ajustes (R2) de los modelos de regresión lineal que relacionan Da con el contenido de COS se ubicaron entre 0.61 y 0.72.
