The role of fine‐root mass, specific root length and life span in tree performance: A whole‐tree exploration

Functional Ecology, 2020
The root economics spectrum (RES) hypothesis predicts that fast‐growing tree species have short‐lived roots with high specific root length (SRL) to allow rapid resource uptake, and opposite trait expressions for slow‐growing species.

Specific root length regulated the rhizosphere effect on denitrification across distinct macrophytes

Geoderma
Macrophytes influence nitrogen (N) removal from wetlands. However, the specific plant traits responsible for this effect and the related microbial mechanisms remain largely unknown, especially root traits.

Linking root length and surface area to yield: variety-specific root plasticity in winter wheat across contrasting European environments [PDF]

Annals of Botany
Understanding the relationship of root traits and crop performance under varying environmental conditions facilitates the exploitation of root characteristics in breeding and variety testing to maintain crop yields under climate change. Therefore, we (1)

Data from: Functional correlations between specific leaf area and specific root length along a regional environmental gradient in Inner Mongolia grasslands [PDF]

Functional Ecology, 2015
Among above- and belowground traits, specific leaf area (SLA, cm2 g−1) and specific root length (SRL, m g−1) are the two key traits reflecting species resource acquisition strategies.

Cell-Type-Specific Length and Cytosolic pH Response of Superficial Cells of Arabidopsis Root to Chronic Salinity

Plants, 2022
Soil salinity negatively affects the growth, development and yield of plants. Acidification of the cytosol in cells of glycophytes was reported under salinity, while various types of plant cells can have a specific reaction under the same conditions ...

Shifting Root Strategies: Impacts of Forest Conversion on Fine Root Traits in Monoculture Systems

Hayati Journal of Biosciences
The intensification of land-use from natural forests to monoculture systems such as rubber and oil palm plantations alters soil structure and resource availability, thereby affecting fine root acquisition strategies.

Roots With Larger Specific Root Length and C: N Ratio Sustain More Complex Nematode Community [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Aims Roots bridge above and belowground systems, and play a pivotal role in structuring root-associated organisms via influencing food resources and habitat conditions. Most studies focused on the relationships between plant identity and root-associated organisms, however, little is known about how root traits affect nematode ...

Linking Hydraulic Conductivity to Anatomy in Plants that Vary in Specific Root Length [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2000
In Citrus L. sp., specific root length of whole root systems has been correlated positively with root hydraulic conductivity, but there is little mechanistic understanding of the causes for this association.

Modelling diverse root density dynamics and deep nitrogen uptake — a simple approach [PDF]

, 2009
We present a 2-D model for simulation of root density and plant nitrogen (N) uptake for crops grown in agricultural systems, based on a modification of the root density equation originally proposed by Gerwitz and Page in J Appl Ecol 11:773–781, (1974). A

Effects of biodegradable P3HB on the specific growth rate, root length and chlorophyll content of duckweed, Lemna minor

Heliyon, 2023
The extensive production and use of plastics have led to widespread pollution of the environment. As a result, biodegradable polymers (BDPs) are receiving a great deal of attention because they are expected to degrade entirely in the environment. Therefore, in this work, we tested the effect of two fractions (particles
