Trade-off between root nitrogen acquisition and shoot nitrogen utilization across 13 co-occurring pasture grass species (2009, background): “…trade-off, between a below-ground space occupation strategy (high root area but low investment in N transporters per root area) (Fransen et al. 2001; Craine et al. 2002), and a sink strength strategy (low root area but high investment in N transporters per root area) (Raynaud & Leadley 2004).”
Several components of global change alter nitrifying and denitrifying activities in an annual grassland (2006, unknown): “There is a wide range of other possible explanations, including decreased mineralisation rates (Zak et al. 2000b), increased plant uptake (Bassirirad, Gutschick & Lussenhop 2001) or increased root density (Raynaud & Leadley 2004; see also Niklaus et al. 2001 for additional hypotheses).”
Seedling root morphology and biomass allocation of 62 tropical tree species in relation to drought‐ and shade‐tolerance (2009, background): “In addition, they have long and branched root systems (cf. Huante et al. 1992) which increase the probability to encounter and exploit high nutrient pockets (Fitter 1985; Craine 2002; Raynaud & Leadley 2004) and fuel onward growth.”
Mechanisms of plant competition for nutrients, water and light (2013, background): “Raynaud & Leadley (2004) showed that what held for small patches also applied to larger soil volumes.”
