Coupling Root Diameter With Rooting Depth to Reveal the Heterogeneous Assembly of Root-Associated Bacterial Communities in Soybean [PDF]
Root diameter and rooting depth lead to morphological and architectural heterogeneity of plant roots; however, little is known about their effects on root-associated microbial communities. Bacterial community assembly was explored across 156 samples from

Hydrologic regulation of plant rooting depth [PDF]
Significance Knowledge of plant rooting depth is critical to understanding plant-mediated global change. Earth system models are highly sensitive to this particular parameter with large consequences for modeled plant productivity, water–energy–carbon exchange between the land and the atmosphere, and silicate weathering regulating ...

Global transcriptome and coexpression network analyses reveal cultivar-specific molecular signatures associated with different rooting depth responses to drought stress in potato [PDF]
Potato is one of the most important vegetable crops worldwide. Its growth, development and ultimately yield is hindered by drought stress condition. Breeding and selection of deep-rooted and drought-tolerant potato varieties has become a prime approach ...

Rooting depth and root depth distribution ofTrifolium repens×T. unifloruminterspecific hybrids [PDF]
Background and aims Traits related to root depth distribution were examined in Trifolium repens × T. uniflorum backcross 1 (BC1) hybrids to determine whether root characteristics of white clover could be improved by interspecific hybridization. Methods Two white clover cultivars, two T.

Infiltration depth, rooting depth, and regolith flushing-A global perspective. [PDF]
Abstract In the vegetation root zone, infiltration (Inf) parts in two directions with distinct Earth-system functions. One goes up as evapotranspiration (E + Tr), returning Inf to the atmosphere (short-circuiting) and affecting short-term weather/climate and the carbon cycle.

Estimating Rooting Depth From Herbarium Specimens Might Be More Accurate Than Using Large Trait Databases [PDF]
Global databases of plant functional traits are facing issues in data heterogeneity and taxonomical or geographical representativeness. To fill data gaps, natural history collections, such as herbaria, have become widely accepted as a potential source of

Hydrologic regulation of plant rooting depth: Breakthrough or observational conundrum? [PDF]
In PNAS, Fan et al. (1) propose that landscape-scale hydrologic convergence along topography is the main driver of rooting depth. Fan et al. (1) base their assessment on a compilation of published reports and the development of an inverse modeling applied at the global scale. One of the central hypotheses of Fan et al.
