A comparison between water uptake and root length density in winter wheat: effects of root density and rhizosphere properties [PDF]
Plant and Soil, 2020 Abstract Background and aims We aim to quantify the variation in root distribution in a set of 35 experimental wheat lines. We also compared the effect of variation in hydraulic properties of the rhizosphere on water uptake by roots. Methods We measured the root length density and soil drying in 35 wheat lines in a field experiment.

Relating Profile Wall Root-Length Density Estimates to Monolith Root-Length Density Measurements of Cover Crops [PDF]
Agronomy, 2021 Different methods have been proposed for in situ root-length density (RLD) measurement. One widely employed is the time-consuming sampling of soil cores or monoliths (MO).

Evaluation of normalized root length density distribution models
Field Crops Research, 2019 Abstract The root length density (RLD) distribution is an essential parameter for modeling crop growth and root uptake in soil–plant systems, but it is difficult to measure under field conditions. Several RLD models contain many parameters that vary with the crop growth season and they are difficult to measure, and thus they have limited ...

Root traits are multidimensional: specific root length is independent from root tissue density and the plant economic spectrum [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2016 Summary Root, stem and leaf traits are thought to be functionally coordinated to maximize the efficiency of acquiring and using limited resources. However, evidence is mixed for consistent whole‐plant trait coordination among woody plants, and we lack a clear understanding of the adaptive value of root traits along soil resource gradients.

Root Characteristics for Maize with the Highest Grain Yield Potential of 22.5 Mg ha−1 in China
Agriculture, 2023 In maize (Zea mays L.), rational root structure promotes high grain yield under dense sowing conditions. This study was conducted at Qitai Farm in Xinjiang, China, in 2019 and 2021. A traditional wide and narrow row planting method was adopted, with wide
