Anatomical structure interpretation of the effect of soil environment on fine root function. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2022
Fine root anatomy plays an important role in understanding the relationship between fine root function and soil environment. However, in different soil environments, the variation of fine root anatomical structure in different root sequences is not well ...

Fine root decomposition in forest ecosystems: an ecological perspective. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2023
Fine root decomposition is a physio-biochemical activity that is critical to the global carbon cycle (C) in forest ecosystems. It is crucial to investigate the mechanisms and factors that control fine root decomposition in forest ecosystems to understand

Response strategies of fine root morphology of Cupressus funebris to the different soil environment. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2022
Understanding fine root morphology is crucial to uncover water and nutrient acquisition and transposition of fine roots. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding how the soil environment affects the fine root morphology of various root ...

Fine root decomposition and nutrient release of different age <i>Caragana intermedia</i> plantation in alpine sandy land. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
A better understanding of fine root decomposition and nutrient release characteristics is essential for accurate assessment and prediction of nutrient cycling in plantation ecosystems. Decomposition bag method was used to study the fine root (1 mm< D ≤

Fine root biomass and morphology in a temperate forest are influenced more by the nitrogen treatment approach than the rate

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Global nitrogen (N) deposition patterns have profoundly affected the production and morphological structure of fine roots, which in turn changed the distribution of carbon in forests. However, traditional experiments of N addition in forests have ignored

Tree growth is better explained by absorptive fine root traits than by transport fine root traits. [PDF]

Commun Biol
Although 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

Fine root morphological characteristics and biomass distribution characteristics of different artificial forests in coastal salt land and their influencing factors. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
To elucidate the ecological adaptations of fine root morphological traits and biomass in tree species with different life forms to coastal saline soil, five species (Robinia pseudoacacia(RP), Sapium sebiferum(SA), Salix matsudana(SM), Quercus virginiana ...

Fine Root Traits across Different Root Orders and Their Associations with Leaf Traits in 15 Co-Occurring Plant Species from the Desert-Oasis Transition Zone in the Hexi Corridor, Gansu Province, China. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
Fine root traits embody trade-offs between resource acquisition and conservation in plants. Yet, the differentiation of these traits across root orders, the existence of a root economics spectrum (RES) spanning these orders, and their linkage with leaf ...

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.

Nitrogen deposition drives the intricate changes of fine root traits

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Increase in nitrogen (N) deposition will cause changes of root morphological and functional traits, thus deeply affecting ecosystem carbon (C) and N cycles.
