Spatial distribution of tree and grassland fine roots in an alley cropping system

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2023
Alley cropping systems are known as more sustainable land use alternatives compared to monoculture cropland. In addition to the improvement of above-ground structures and creation of biotopes relevant to nature conservation, the improvement of resource ...

Time‐varying response of fine root growth to soil temperature and soil moisture in cypress and deciduous oak forests

Plant-Environment Interactions, 2022
Fine root phenology is controlled by complex mechanisms associated with aboveground phenological events and environmental conditions, and therefore, elucidating fine root responses to changing environments remains difficult without considering the ...

Differential Variation in Non-structural Carbohydrates in Root Branch Orders of Fraxinus mandshurica Rupr. Seedlings Across Different Drought Intensities and Soil Substrates

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) facilitate plant adaptation to drought stress, characterize tree growth and survival ability, and buffer against external disturbances.

Strigolactones fine-tune the root system [PDF]

Planta, 2013
Strigolactones were originally discovered to be involved in parasitic weed germination, in mycorrhizal association and in the control of shoot architecture. Despite their clear role in rhizosphere signaling, comparatively less attention has been given to the belowground function of strigolactones on plant development.

Allometry of fine roots in forest ecosystems [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2018
AbstractTheoretical predictions regarding fine root production are needed in many ecosystem models but are lacking. Here, we expand the classic pipe model to fine roots and predict isometric scaling relationships between leaf and fine root biomass and among all major biomass production components of individual trees.

Plant functional types and microtopography mediate climate change responses of fine roots in forested boreal peatlands

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Peatlands store one-third of the world’s soil carbon, and their climate change response is a key unknown in the global carbon cycle-climate change feedback.

Response Strategies of Root System Architecture to Soil Environment: A Case Study of Single-Species Cupressus funebris Plantations

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The root system architecture (RSA), being a key characteristic of the root economic spectrum, describes the spatial arrangement and positioning of roots that determines the plant's exploration of water and nutrients in the soil.
