Topography Mediates the Response of Soil CO2 Efflux to Precipitation Over Days, Seasons, and Years
Spatiotemporal heterogeneity in soil CO 2 efflux ( F S ) underlies one of our greatest gaps in understanding global carbon (C) cycles. Though scientists...

Warming and grazing interact to affect root dynamics in an alpine meadow
AimsRoot dynamics plays a fundamental role in determining carbon allocation and other main ecological processes in grasslands. Understanding the...

Genomic prediction for root and yield traits of barley under a water availability gradient: a case study comparing different spatial adjustments
BackgroundIn drought periods, water use efficiency depends on the capacity of roots to extract water from deep soil. A semi-field phenoty**...

Mycorrhiza in Mixed Plantations
Mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis found in about 90% of the terrestrial plants. The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) and ectomycorrhiza (ECM), present...

Mowing increases fine root production and root turnover in an artificially restored Songnen grassland
AimsMowing is a common management practice in grassland ecosystems. However, how mowing affects fine root dynamics remains poorly explored.

Vertical root distribution in Himalayan trees: about half of roots occur below 30 cm, the generally sampled depth
Almost nothing is known about the vertical root distribution for Himalayan forest trees. By providing an analysis of vertical distribution of root...

Simulating warmer and drier climate increases root production but decreases root decomposition in an alpine grassland on the Tibetan plateau
BackgroundFuture ecosystem structure and function will largely depend on root responses to climate change. However, few studies have explored the...

Root-Associated Mycobiomes of Common Temperate Plants (Calluna vulgaris and Holcus lanatus) Are Strongly Affected by Winter Climate Conditions
Winter temperatures are projected to increase in Central Europe. Subsequently, snow cover will decrease, leading to increased soil temperature...
