Variation of the linkage of root function with root branch order. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Mounting evidence has shown strong linkage of root function with root branch order. However, it is not known whether this linkage is consistent in different species.

Methodology-Dependent Reversals in Root Decomposition: Divergent Regulation by Forest Gap and Root Order in Pinus massoniana [PDF]
PlantsUnderstanding root decomposition dynamics is essential to address declining carbon sequestration and nutrient imbalances in monoculture plantations. This study elucidates how forest gaps regulate Pinus massoniana root decomposition through comparative ...

Square-root higher-order Weyl semimetals
Nature Communications, 2022 The topological properties of square-root Weyl semimetals are derived from the square of the Hamiltonian. Here, the authors propose a tight-binding model for a square-root higher-order Weyl semimetal hosting both Fermi-arc surface and hinge states.

Do ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal temperate tree species systematically differ in root order based fine root morphology and biomass? [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 While most temperate broad-leaved tree species form ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbioses, a few species have arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM). It is not known whether EM and AM tree species differ systematically with respect to fine root morphology, fine root ...

Anatomical structure interpretation of the effect of soil environment on fine root function
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Fine root anatomy plays an important role in understanding the relationship between fine root function and soil environment. However, in different soil environments, the variation of fine root anatomical structure in different root sequences is not well ...

Response strategies of fine root morphology of Cupressus funebris to the different soil environment
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Understanding fine root morphology is crucial to uncover water and nutrient acquisition and transposition of fine roots. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding how the soil environment affects the fine root morphology of various root ...

The Right-Skewed Distribution of Fine-Root Size in Three Temperate Forests in Northeastern China
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Trees can build fine-root systems with high variation in root size (e.g., fine-root diameter) and root number (e.g., branching pattern) to optimize belowground resource acquisition in forest ecosystems.

Fine root litter traits of Chamaecyparis obtusa
Ecological Indicators, 2022 The purpose of this study was to clarify the process of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Sieb. & Zucc.) Endl. fine root shedding and the morphological traits of the resulting root litter. We developed a method for direct monthly sampling of root litter from the
