On the Possible Trade-Off between Shoot and Root Biomass in Wheat [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Numerous studies have shown that under a limited water supply, a larger root biomass is associated with an increased above-ground biomass. Root biomass, while genetically controlled, is also greatly affected by the environment with varying plasticity ...

Root biomass and exudates link plant diversity with soil bacterial and fungal biomass [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Abstract Plant diversity has been shown to determine the composition and functioning of soil biota. Although root-derived organic inputs are discussed as the main drivers of soil communities, experimental evidence is scarce.

Root exudation in a sloping Moso bamboo forest in relation to fine root biomass and traits [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2022
Exudation by fine roots generally varies with their morphological traits, but the effect of belowground resource availability on the root exudation via root morphological traits and biomass remains unknown. We aimed to determine the effects of morphological and physiological traits on root exudation rates and to estimate stand-scale exudation (Estand ...

Differential responses of fine root biomass to nitrogen deposition mediated by functional diversity [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionFine root functional diversity can help explain and predict ecosystem functioning by integrating multiple fine root traits. However, because different functional diversity metrics emphasize distinct aspects of trait variation, their ...

Influence of tree functional diversity and stand environment on fine root biomass and necromass in four types of evergreen broad-leaved forests

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Positive effects of tree diversity on above-ground biomass have been well documented, whereas the relationships between tree functional diversity and fine root biomass and necromass remain unclear.

Root biomass on an ombrotrophic pine bog and the effects of PK and NPK fertilization.

Silva Fennica, 1991
Scots pine ( L.) living root biomass (ø≤ 10 mm) was 640 g/m on the studied low-shrub pine bog before fertilization, and that of the ground vegetation almost the same. The total root necromass was 23% of the biomass of living roots.

Effects of soil compaction and mechanical damage at harvest on growth and biomass production of short rotation coppice willow [PDF]

, 2004
The effects of soil compaction and mechanical damage to stools at harvesting on the growth and biomass production of short rotation coppice (SRC) of willow (Salix viminalis L.) were monitored on clay loam (CL) and sandy loam (SL) soils.

Microorganisms and nematodes increase levels of secondary metabolites in roots and root exudates of Plantago lanceolata [PDF]

, 2009
Plant secondary metabolites play an important role in constitutive and inducible direct defense of plants against their natural enemies. While induction of defense by aboveground pathogens and herbivores is well-studied, induction by belowground ...

Nitrogen Fertilization Increases Root Growth and Coordinates the Root–Shoot Relationship in Cotton

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The root system plays an important role in the growth and development of cotton, and root growth is closely related to shoot growth, both of which are affected by N availability in the soil.
