Mass remaining (%) during the 540-day decomposition for roots of different branch orders of the two species. RO1–2 refers to the 1st- and 2nd-order roots, RO3, RO4 and RO5 refer to the 3rd, 4th and 5th-order roots, respectively. Error bars represent ± SE (n = 3). ANCOVA was conducted to compare the differences between roots of different branch orders with decomposition time as the covariate. Different letters at the end of the curves indicate significant differences between two root-order classes (P ≤ 0.05)
