Fine root distribution was estimated in three spruce stands with different stages of forest decline. At all 3 sites in the 0-5 cm layer the density of living fine root mass exceeds the necromass. However, in the deeper soil layer necromass exceeds biomass by a factor of 2-4 at Modry Dul, ca. 3 at Alzbetinka and by more than 8 at Mumlavska Hora. The distribution of root density was reflected in the distribution of root length and the number of root tips in each soil layer for the 3 sites
