Tree growth is better explained by absorptive fine root traits than by transport fine root traits [PDF]
Communications BiologyAlthough the interest in root traits has increased in recent years, we still have limited knowledge of (i) whether functionally different fine roots—absorptive versus transport roots—have similar trait coordination and (ii) how they help to explain plant

The Right-Skewed Distribution of Fine-Root Size in Three Temperate Forests in Northeastern China
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Trees can build fine-root systems with high variation in root size (e.g., fine-root diameter) and root number (e.g., branching pattern) to optimize belowground resource acquisition in forest ecosystems.
