Variation in fine root traits with thinning intensity in a Chinese fir plantation insights from branching order and functional groups

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Thinning is a widely used practice in forest management, but the acclimation mechanisms of fine roots to forest thinning are still unclear. We examined the variations in fine root traits of different branching orders and functional groups along a ...

Dataset from: On the importance of root traits in seedlings of tropical tree species

open access: yes, 2020
Data from: On the importance of root traits in seedlings of tropical tree species Here, we discuss biomass allocation of tropical tree species at the seedling stage, and how they differ between species originating from different vegetation types.

Root Foraging Performance and Life-History Traits [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Plants use their roots to forage for nutrients in heterogeneous soil environments, but different plant species vastly differ in the intensity of foraging they perform. This diversity suggests the existence of constraints on foraging at the species level.

Fine Root Traits across Different Root Orders and Their Associations with Leaf Traits in 15 Co-Occurring Plant Species from the Desert–Oasis Transition Zone in the Hexi Corridor, Gansu Province, China

open access: yesPlants
Fine root traits embody trade-offs between resource acquisition and conservation in plants. Yet, the differentiation of these traits across root orders, the existence of a root economics spectrum (RES) spanning these orders, and their linkage with leaf ...

Assessment of genetic variability, character association, heritability and path analysis in European carrot (Daucus carota var. sativa)

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Studies of genetic variability and relationship among the 40 genotypes of European carrot (Daucus carota L. var sativa) for important horticultural traits revealed wide range of variability for the traits.

Timing matters: Distinct effects of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer application timing on root system architecture responses

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, 2021
Aims Although different plant foraging responses to the two macronutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are well researched, the effect of timing of fertilizer application on root system architecture (RSA) remains largely unknown. We, therefore, aimed

Functional traits and root morphology of alpine plants [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2011
Vegetation has long been recognized to protect the soil from erosion. Understanding species differences in root morphology and functional traits is an important step to assess which species and species mixtures may provide erosion control. Furthermore, extending classification of plant functional types towards root traits may be a useful procedure in ...

Root-associated fungal communities are influenced more by soils than by plant-host root traits in a Chinese tropical forest

open access: yes, 2023
Forest fungal communities are shaped by the interactions between host tree root systems and the associated soil conditions. We investigated how the soil environment, root morphological traits, and root chemistry influence root-inhabiting fungal ...
