Fungi associated with fine roots of Fraxinus excelsior affected by ash dieback detected by next-generation sequencing
The decline of European ash by dieback caused by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus together with stem collar necroses and rots caused by various fungi has been...
-
Soil microbial richness and community composition are primarily mediated by functional trait diversity of fine roots in subtropical forests
AimsAlthough plant–microbial interactions are essential to sustain terrestrial ecosystem functions, root–microbial interactions remain poorly...

Consistent responses of the C:N:P stoichiometry of green leaves and fine roots to N addition in poplar plantations in eastern coastal China
AimsEcological stoichiometry plays an important role in biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functions. However, we know little of fine-root...

Home-field advantage of litter decomposition differs among leaves, absorptive roots, and transport roots
Background and aimsHome-field advantage (HFA) in litter decomposition occurs widely in terrestrial ecosystems, but it remains unknown that how leaf,...

Molecular-level carbon traits underlie the multidimensional fine root economics space
Carbon influences the evolution and functioning of plants and their roots. Previous work examining a small number of commonly measured root traits...

Fine scale sampling reveals early differentiation of rhizosphere microbiome from bulk soil in young Brachypodium plant roots
For a deeper and comprehensive understanding of the composition and function of rhizosphere microbiomes, we need to focus at the scale of individual...

Long-term nitrogen fertilization alters phylogenetic structure of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community in plant roots across fine spatial scales
PurposeNitrogen enrichment is known to have a substantial impact on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community in plant roots. However, the...

Fine roots stimulate nutrient release during early stages of leaf litter decomposition in a Central Amazon rainforest
PurposeLarge parts of the Amazon rainforest grow on weathered soils depleted in phosphorus and rock-derived cations. We tested the hypothesis that in...

Direct and indirect impacts of fine root functional traits on decomposition and N loss
AimsFunctional traits are crucial drivers of litter decomposition, yet the links between functional traits of fine roots and decomposition remains...
-
Variations in the traits of fine roots of different orders and their associations with leaf traits in 12 co-occuring plant species in a semiarid inland dune
AimVariations in plant traits are closely linked to the functional trade-off between resource acquisition and conservation. However, there has been...

TopoRoot: a method for computing hierarchy and fine-grained traits of maize roots from 3D imaging
Background3D imaging, such as X-ray CT and MRI, has been widely deployed to study plant root structures. Many computational tools exist to extract...

How Does Fine Root Influence Aggregates? Comparing Root Diameter Distribution of Two Herbaceous Plants: a Pot Experiment
The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact and importance of herb fine roots in different diameter ranges on soil aggregate...

Tree–wheat vertical fine root distribution in a 4-year-old temperate alley-crop** system
Competition or complementarity between associated plants due to belowground interactions has been observed in alley-crop** systems (ACs), but the...

The allocation of anatomical traits determines the trade-off between fine root resource acquisition–transport function
Cortex radius (CR) and stele radius (SR) are important functional traits associated with the nutrient acquisition and transport functions of fine...

Patterns in the Spatial Distribution of Fine Roots in Pinus sylvestris L. (Using the Example of a Mid-Taiga Cowberry-Type Pine Forest)
AbstractThe properties of a sandy Ferric Podzol over fluvioglacial deposits and the root mass of its 0–20 cm layer with Pinus sylvestris L. fine...

Fine root extension in urban forest soil depends on organic mulching
As an effective measure of urban forest management, organic mulching impacts soil properties, the environment, and tree growth. Fine roots are vital...

How fine root turnover functions during mangrove root zone expansion and affects belowground carbon processes
Background and aimsFine roots (diameter < 2 mm) are the component of belowground biomass, which are help to maintain sediment volume and resist soil...
-
Contrasting effects of nitrogen and phosphorus additions on fine root production and morphological traits of different plant functional types in an ombrotrophic peatland
Background and aimsChanges in morphological traits of fine roots indicate shift in adaptive strategies. However, it remains unclear how nitrogen (N)...
-
Optimal chemical defence allocation in roots: where, why and how?
Plants produce a range of volatile and non-volatile plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) to increase their resistance to biotic threats. The optimal...

Effect of vegetation growth on morphological traits of vegetation and biomechanical features of roots
AimsThe impact of plant age on morphological traits, peak pullout force of the root system, tensile force, tensile strength, and elastic modulus of a...
