Research develops a method to assess belowground carbon storage in deadwood, indicating significant findings for Germany's emissions reporting.
A procedure for belowground sampling of dead coarse roots (≥2 cm) was developed and applied. • For the first time, data on the belowground biomass of dead coarse roots could be collected for spruce, pine and beech. • According to an exemplary extrapolation, belowground carbon storage in dead coarse roots is of similar magnitude as in aboveground deadwood. • Regional values on deadwood density and carbon content for aboveground deadwood were collected.
