Sensitivity of tropical woodland savannas to El Niño droughts [PDF]

Biogeosciences
The 2015–2016 El Niño event led to one of the hottest and most intense droughts for many tropical forests, profoundly impacting forest productivity. However, we know little about how this event affected the Cerrado, the largest savanna in South America ...

Root traits contributing to plant productivity under drought

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Geneticists and breeders are positioned to breed plants with root traits that improve productivity under drought. However, a better understanding of root functional traits and how traits are related to whole plant strategies to increase crop productivity

Simulating Dynamic Roots in the Energy Exascale Earth System Land Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019
Roots are important contributors to plant development, functioning to provide nutrients and water for plant growth. However, roots and their functions are often simplified in Earth system models, which limit the feedback of root foraging strategy on ...
