The exploitative segregation of plant roots
Science, 2020 Competitive roots Much of the world's plant biomass exists out of sight underground in the form of roots. Cabal et al. developed a theoretical model and tested it empirically to explain the rules that govern root growth (see the Perspective by Semchenko).

Asymmetric pruning reveals how organ connectivity alters the functional balance between leaves and roots of Chinese fir [PDF]
, 2019 Following asymmetric pruning of leaves and/or roots, the functional balance of distribution of carbon, but not of nitrogen, in Cunninghamia lanceolata is more readily achieved for the roots and leaves on the same side of the pruning compared with those ...

Multielectrode Geoelectrical Tomography for the Quantification of Plant Roots
Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2010 The amount and spatial distribution of plant roots are crucial ecological features, and methods based on soil electrical resistivity (r) tomography (ERT) have been proposed for their non-destructive measurement.

Root Architecture and Plant Productivity [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1995 Water and nutrient availability limit plant growth in a11 but a very few natural ecosystems. They limit yield in most agricultural ecosystems, and in the United States and other industrialized nations, intensive irrigation and fertilization have generated serious environmental problems.

Lessons Learned from the Studies of Roots Shaded from Direct Root Illumination
, 2021 The root is the below-ground organ of a plant, and it has evolved multiple signaling pathways that allow adaptation of architecture, growth rate, and direction to an ever-changing environment.
