Fine-root carbon and nitrogen concentration of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Italy Prealps: possible implications of coppice conversion to high forest [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 Fine-root systems represent a very sensitive plant compartment to environmental changes. Gaining further knowledge about their dynamics would improve soil carbon input understanding.

Sampling date, leaf age and root size: implications for the study of plant C:N:p stoichiometry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Plant carbon : nitrogen : phosphorus (C:N:P) ratios are powerful indicators of diverse ecological processes. During plant development and growth, plant C:N:P stoichiometry responds to environmental conditions and physiological constraints.

Exchangeable and sampling-consistent distributions on rooted binary trees [PDF]
Journal of Applied Probability, 2022 AbstractWe introduce a notion of finite sampling consistency for phylogenetic trees and show that the set of finitely sampling-consistent and exchangeable distributions on n-leaf phylogenetic trees is a polytope. We use this polytope to show that the set of all exchangeable and sampling-consistent distributions on four-leaf phylogenetic trees is ...

Root Handling Affects Carboxylates Exudation and Phosphate Uptake of White Lupin Roots
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The reliable quantification of root exudation and nutrient uptake is a very challenging task, especially when considering single root segments. Most methods used necessitate root handling e.g. root dissecting/cutting. However, there is a knowledge gap on

Relieving efforts in palm‐tree tissue sampling for population genetics analyses
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The young leaves are the main source of nucleic acids for population genetic studies in palm‐trees; however, the access to this tissue may be limited by specific features of each species. Using root tissues as an alternative source of nucleic acids could

Validation and refinement of allometric equations for roots of northern hardwoods [PDF]
, 2007 The allometric equations developed by Whittaker et al. (1974. Ecol. Monogr. 44: 233–252), at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest have been used to estimate biomass and productivity in northern hardwood forest systems for over three decades.

A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2021 SummaryIn the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep on generating cutting‐edge, meaningful and integrated knowledge.

Optimal sampling strategies for multiscale stochastic processes [PDF]
, 2006 In this paper, we determine which non-random sampling of fixed size gives the best linear predictor of the sum of a finite spatial population. We employ different multiscale superpopulation models and use the minimum mean-squared error as our optimality ...
