Forests are a major contributor to the global carbon cycle with the ability to sequester carbon via uptake (photosynthesis) and storage (growth). Short-term carbon storage is tied to foliar biomass. Long-term carbon storage via growth can be allocated to the above-ground in tree growth (height and trunk diameter) and below-ground in roots (biomass, density, and width). The amount of carbon sequestered and allocated to above- or below-ground is driven by environmental conditions and stresses. This can have an impact on overall carbon cycle contributions and how much and where carbon is stored. To address above- and below-ground growth dynamics, we established a dendrometer network within the footprint of the New Brunswick Acadia Research Forest flux tower in 2025. Trunk and root dendrometers were installed in three species (maple, pine, fir) to provide continuous measurements of above- and below-ground growth dynamics. Here, we will present preliminary data highlighting the potential of dendrometers for partitioning carbon cycle dynamics of forests.
