Above- and below-ground C pools were measured in pure even-aged stands of Nothofagus antarctica (Forster f.) Oersted at different ages (5–220 years), crown and site classes in the Patagonian region. Mean tissue C concentration varied from 46.3% in medium sized roots of dominant trees to 56.1% in rot...
