Sampling and processing roots from rocky forest soils [PDF]
Quantifying root biomass in rocky forest soils is challenging. This report provides practical advice for field sampling and laboratory processing of root biomass in these settings. Manual coring is the most efficient method for sampling fine root biomass

Getting to the Root of Tree Soil Microbiome Sampling
Microbiomes play critical roles in host functioning and, therefore, there is increasing interest in the microbiome assembly of plants. However, sampling strategies for long-lived perennial trees need to be standardized to produce robust data that ...

Sampling root exudates – Mission impossible? [PDF]
Accurate information about the quantity, quality and spatiotemporal dynamics of metabolite release from plant roots is vital to understanding the functional significance of root exudates in biogeochemical processes occurring at the root-microbe-soil-interface.

Sample size for measurement of root traits on common bean by image analysis [PDF]
Evaluation of root traits may be facilitated if they are assessed on samples of the root system. The objective of this work was to determine the sample size of the root system in order to estimate root traits of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L ...

Fine root litter traits of Chamaecyparis obtusa
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

The Square Root Rule for Adaptive Importance Sampling [PDF]
In adaptive importance sampling and other contexts, we haveK> 1 unbiased and uncorrelated estimates μ^kof a common quantity μ. The optimal unbiased linear combination weights them inversely to their variances, but those weights are unknown and hard to estimate.
