| description | Belowground carbon estimation is essential for understanding carbon dynamics in forests. Root carbon was quantified in a pine forest (PF) and a tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) in the Sierra de Manantlán, México. Soil samples were taken at a depth of 30 cm, and roots were extracted and classified into fine (<2 mm) and coarse (> 2 mm) roots. Soil bulk density and soil moisture were determined as well. A Student's t-test was used for statistical analysis with a significance level of p < 0.05. In the PF, the carbon stored in roots was 3.51 Mg ha-1 ± 0.92 Mg ha-1, significantly lower than in the TMCF with 4.98 Mg ha-1 ± 1.29 Mg ha-1. The ratio of C stored between fine and coarse roots was 0.86 and 0.78 for PF and TMCF, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the C stored in the fine roots between both forests; for the coarse roots, the C content was higher in the TMCF. The soil bulk density and soil moisture in the PF were 0.73 g cm-3 and 23.42%, respectively. Likewise, these variables for the TMCF were 0.59 g cm-3 and 29.93%. With these data, a better understanding of the distribution of carbon in roots for different vegetation types was obtained. |

La estimación de carbono en la biomasa subterránea es fundamental para la comprensión de la dinámica de carbono en los bosques. Se cuantificó el carbono en las raíces en un bosque de pino y en un bosque mesófilo de montaña en la Sierra de Manantlán, México. Se tomaron muestras de suelo a 30 cm de profundidad para la extracción de las raíces y su posterior clasificación en finas (< 2 mm) y gruesas (> 2 mm), así como para la determinación de la densidad aparente y la humedad del suelo. Para el análisis estadístico se realizó la prueba t de Student con un nivel de significancia p < 0.05. En el bosque de pino las raíces almacenaron 3.51 Mg ha-1 ± 0.92 Mg ha-1 de carbono, valor significativamente menor al de bosque mesófilo de montaña con 4.98 Mg ha-1 ± 1.29 Mg ha-1. El cociente del carbono almacenado entre las raíces finas y gruesas fue 0.86 para bosque de pino y 0.78 para bosque mesófilo, respectivamente. No se observó diferencia significativa en el carbono almacenado entre las raíces finas de los dos tipos de bosque; para las raíces gruesas el contenido de carbono fue mayor en el bosque mesófilo. La densidad aparente y la humedad del suelo en el bosque de pino fueron de 0.73 g cm-3 y 23.42%, para el bosque mesófilo de montaña se estimaron valores de 0.59 g cm-3 y 29.93%, respectivamente. Con estos datos se obtiene una mayor comprensión de la distribución de carbono en las raíces para diferentes tipos de vegetación.
