In two years old meadow the root biomass equalled that of the pennanent one. Along the age gradient a decreasing share of live roots and a accumulation of dead root matter were observed. A new ley was characterized by the most intensive turnover of root biomass. In the sequence of meadows from youngest to permanent one the decomposition of root mass slowed down."]
