Seasonal growth dynamics of the root and shoot systems of dominant shrubs of the Chilean matorral were studied. In some species root and shoot activity were synchronous, while in others production of fine roots was observed prior to bud burst and shoot elongation. Biomass production of new roots was significantly higher in spring than in autumn. Maximum biomass of dead roots was concomitant with the maximum amounts of litter under the canopy.
对智利马托拉尔地区优势灌木的根系和地上部分的季节性生长动态进行了研究。在一些物种中，根系和地上部分的活动是同步的，而在其他物种中，细根的生长先于芽萌发和枝条伸长。新根的生物量产量在春季显著高于秋季。死根的最大生物量与树冠下最大量的凋落物同时出现。
