Unravelling the Role of Rhizosphere Microbiome and Root Traits in Organic Phosphorus Mobilization for Sustainable Phosphorus Fertilization. A Review

Agronomy, 2021
Moving toward more sustainable sources for managing phosphorus (P) nutrition in agroecosystems, organic phosphorus (Po) derived from organic inputs and soil is increasingly considered to complement mineral P fertilizer.

Root trait–microbial relationships across tundra plant species [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
Summary Fine roots, and their functional traits, influence associated rhizosphere microorganisms via root exudation and root litter quality. However, little information is known about their relationship with rhizosphere microbial taxa and functional guilds. We investigated the relationships of 11 fine root traits of 20 sub‐arctic tundra meadow plant

Tradeoffs and Synergies in Tropical Forest Root Traits and Dynamics for Nutrient and Water Acquisition: Field and Modeling Advances

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Vegetation processes are fundamentally limited by nutrient and water availability, the uptake of which is mediated by plant roots in terrestrial ecosystems. While tropical forests play a central role in global water, carbon, and nutrient cycling, we know

Nonlinearity of root trait relationships and the root economics spectrum [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
AbstractThe root economics spectrum (RES), a common hypothesis postulating a tradeoff between resource acquisition and conservation traits, is being challenged by conflicting relationships between root diameter, tissue density (RTD) and root nitrogen concentration (RN).

Towards a multidimensional root trait framework: a tree root review [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2016
SummaryThe search for a root economics spectrum (RES) has been sparked by recent interest in trait‐based plant ecology. By analogy with the one‐dimensional leaf economics spectrum (LES), fine‐root traits are hypothesised to match leaf traits which are coordinated along one axis from resource acquisitive to conservative traits.

Exploring root system architecture and anatomical variability in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) seedlings

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background The growth of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is significantly hampered by drought and nutrient deficiencies. The identification of root architectural and anatomical characteristics holds paramount importance for the development of alfalfa ...

Root biomass and root morphological traits of three shrub species: Implications for the soil anti-scouring resistance of the ecological slope.

PLoS ONE, 2023
The purpose of this study was to determine which shrub species will enhance soil anti-scouring resistance on an ecological slope. Root traits and soil anti-scouring resistance of three shrubs (Amorpha fruticosa Linn (AFL), Swida alba Opiz (SAO) and ...
