Moving forward with fine‐root definitions and research [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2016 Here, in the letter published in this issue of New Phytologist (pp. 310-312), 'Fine roots - functional definition expanded to crop species?' Dr. Zobel emphasizes the importance of heterogeneity within crop-root systems.

Litterfall production and fine root dynamics in cool-temperate forests.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Current understanding of litterfall and fine root dynamics in temperate forests is limited, even though these are the major contributors to carbon and nutrient cycling in the ecosystems. In this study, we investigated litterfall and fine root biomass and

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 This study was aimed to clarify the effects of stumping on root and leaf traits as well as the tradeoffs and synergies of decaying Hippophae rhamnoides in feldspathic sandstone areas, and to select the optimal stump height that contributed to the ...

Fine roots and ectomycorrhizas as indicators of environmental change [PDF]
Plant Biosystems - An International Journal Dealing with all Aspects of Plant Biology, 2007 Human-induced and natural stress factors can affect fine roots and ectomycorrhizas. Therefore they have potential utility as indicators of environmental change. We evaluated, through meta-analysis, the magnitude of the effects of acidic deposition, nitrogen deposition, increased ozone levels, elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide, and drought on fine ...

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Litter decomposition is a key process that drives carbon and nutrient cycles in forest soils. The decomposition of five different substrate types was analyzed in hemiboreal coniferous forests, focusing on the mass loss and nutrient (N, P, and K) release ...

Automatic discrimination of fine roots in minirhizotron images [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2007 Minirhizotrons provide detailed information on the production, life history and mortality of fine roots. However, manual processing of minirhizotron images is time-consuming, limiting the number and size of experiments that can reasonably be analysed.

Carbohydrates in individual poplar fine roots: effects of root age and defoliation [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2002 Late-summer starch accumulation in fine roots of poplars (Populus x canadensis Moench.) defoliated by gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) lagged behind that in fine roots of undefoliated trees. If starch concentration declines with age, defoliation-induced changes in root system age structure could be partly responsible for this difference.
