Dry matter allocation in mature forest trees from 73 literature references
| Biomass fraction | Evergreen conifers | Deciduous tree species |
|---|---|---|
| Shoot fraction (%) | 80 | 83 |
| Coarse root fraction (%) | 17 | 14 |
| Leaf fraction (%) | 4.2 | 1.3 |
| <3 mm root fraction (%) | 1.7 | 1.4 |
Note, because not all authors offer all biomass fractions, the means do not add up to 100 % (data from Körner 1994)
