A minimal mechanistic model of plant responses to oxygen deficit during waterlogging [PDF]
Quantitative Plant BiologyPlants exhibit diverse morphological, anatomical and physiological responses to hypoxia stress from soil waterlogging, yet coordination between these responses is not fully understood.

Variable tree rooting strategies are key for modelling the distribution, productivity and evapotranspiration of tropical evergreen forests [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 A variety of modelling studies have suggested tree rooting depth as a key variable to explain evapotranspiration rates, productivity and the geographical distribution of evergreen forests in tropical South America.

The Number of Rooted Trees of Given Depth [PDF]
The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2013 In this paper it is shown that the logarithm of the number of non-isomorphic rooted trees of depth $k\geq 3$ is asymptotically $\frac{\pi^2}{6}\cdot\frac{n}{\log\log\dots\log n}$, where $\log$ is iterated $k-2$ times in the denominator.

Revisiting the two-layer hypothesis: coexistence of alternative functional rooting strategies in savannas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The two-layer hypothesis of tree-grass coexistence posits that trees and grasses differ in rooting depth, with grasses exploiting soil moisture in shallow layers while trees have exclusive access to deep water.

The effect of drought and interspecific interactions on depth of water uptake in deep- and shallow-rooting grassland species as determined by δ18O natural abundance [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Increased incidence of drought, as predicted under climate change, has the potential to negatively affect grassland production. Compared to monocultures, vertical belowground niche complementarity between shallow- and deep-rooting species may be an ...

The square root depth wave equations [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2010 We introduce a set of coupled equations for multi-layer water waves that removes the ill-posedness of the multi-layer Green–Naghdi (MGN) equations in the presence of shear. The new well-posed equations are Hamiltonian and in the absence of imposed background shear, they retain the same travelling wave solutions as MGN.

Variability of root traits in spring wheat germplasm. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Root traits influence the amount of water and nutrient absorption, and are important for maintaining crop yield under drought conditions. The objectives of this research were to characterize variability of root traits among spring wheat genotypes and ...
