Sampling roots to capture plant and soil functions (2017, background): “…a historical perspective While root traits have been broadly studied for many decades (e.g. rooting depth and density, root length and branching; Fitter 1987; Schenk & Jackson 2002), over 95% of fine root trait data from our dataset have been gathered or published in the last 15 years (Fig.”
ADAPTIVE VARIATION IN THE VULNERABILITY OF WOODY PLANTS TO XYLEM CAVITATION (2004, methodology): “We also examined the relationship of hydraulic parameters to a derived moisture index, defined as the ratio of MAP to PET (MAP/PET; Schenk and Jackson 2002).”
Plant rooting strategies in water‐limited ecosystems (2007, methodology): “Among water-limited ecosystems, roots tend to be deeper in coarser soils [Kramer, 1983] and in climates that are cooler, wetter, or whose wet season occurs during winter [Schenk and Jackson, 2002a].”
Acquisition of phosphorus and other poorly mobile nutrients by roots. Where do plant nutrition models fail? (2011, background): “In particular, the contribution of very deep roots on water and nutrient uptake in natural and agroecosystems established on highly weathered tropical soils is still poorly known (Battie-Laclau and Laclau 2009; Christina et al. 2011; Jackson et al. 2000; Schenk and Jackson 2002; Silva et al. 2011).”
Vertical Vegetation Structure Below Ground: Scaling from Root to Globe (2005, methodology): “Probabilities of deep rooting were calculated from the empirical distribution of records for deep roots within the climatic continuum, using an analysis described in Schenk and Jackson (2004) Vertical Vegetation Structure Below Ground: Scaling from Root to Globe 357”
Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “Moreover, depths at which plants have 50% or 95% of their total root biomass are significantly deeper in drier than in humid environments (Schenk and Jackson 2002b).”
Rooting depth and water use efficiency of tropical maize inbred lines, differing in drought tolerance (2009, methodology): “Since Schenk and Jackson (2002) used D50 (the depth reached by 50% of the roots) and D95 to summarize depth profiles, we also calculated D50 and compared it with D95 and DR. D50 of individual plants was reasonably strong correlated with their D95 (r=0.79), suggesting that the two measures were…”
Climate, soil and plant functional types as drivers of global fine‐root trait variation (2017, background): “…on these topics, a considerable number of studies have explored the variation in ecosystem root biomass (e.g. Jackson, Mooney & Schulze 1997), their vertical distribution in soils (Schenk & Jackson 2002), their fluctuations in productivity (Vogt et al. 1995) and turnover (Gill & Jackson 2000).”
Soil-carbon preservation through habitat constraints and biological limitations on decomposer activity (2008, neutral): “On average, only half of the root biomass is located in the upper 20 cm of temperate soils, while the root system extends much deeper, and only at 1 m or even at 1.50 m in drier ecosystems a cumulative 95% of root biomass is reached (Schenk and Jackson, 2002).”
Root responses to nutrients and soil biota: drivers of species coexistence and ecosystem productivity (2012, background): “Compiling data from root excavation studies, often from individual plants, Schenk, Jackson and co-workers (Jackson et al. 1996; Schenk & Jackson 2002b,a) found thatmost roots develop in the upper soil layers, with a global average of 75% of all roots in the top 40 cm across all ecosystems.”
Resource pulses, species interactions, and diversity maintenance in arid and semi-arid environments (2004, background): “In addition to differing in water use over time, the plant species of arid and semiarid environments differ in maximum rooting depths and in distributions of root biomass with depth (Schenk and Jackson 2002b), suggesting vertical partitioning of soil moisture.”
Soil Water Balance and Ecosystem Response to Climate Change (2004, background): “…threshold (typically on the order∗x of 0.3–0.4) marking the onset of plant water stress (Larcher 1995; Nilsen and Orcutt 1998; Porporato et al. 2001; Sperry et al. 2002), the dashed line of slope in figure 2 be-∗1/x comes the place where the mode of the effective relative soil moisture PDF is…”
Compensatory uptake functions in empirical macroscopic root water uptake models: experimental and numerical analysis (2015, background): “Although βInc is in total contradiction with the observations of root systems of most biomes (Schenk and Jackson, 2002), one may hypothesize that such profile may reflect an increase uptake 15 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 32…”
A handbook of protocols for standardised and easy measurement of plant functional traits worldwide (2003, background): “…(root depth and effects on global carbon and water cycles); Jackson (1999); Adiku et al. (2000); Guerrero-Campo and Fitter (2001) (both: costs and benefits of shallow and deep roots); Schenk and Jackson (2002) (all: models of root depth distribution, global syntheses of root depth distributions).”
A Representation of Variable Root Distribution in Dynamic Vegetation Models (2003, background): “Rooting depth is also influenced by soil texture (Schenk and Jackson, 2002a) and may also be restricted by bedrock or permafrost.”
Root reinforcement and slope bioengineering stabilization by Spanish Broom ( Spartium junceum L.) (2009, neutral): “Gabbiola and Spedaletto sites are ex-agricultural areas colonised by natural shrubs 300 m away from Gentilino area. slope.”
Impact of root architecture on the erosion‐reducing potential of roots during concentrated flow (2007, background): “Furthermore, as both soil type and soil moisture conditions control root architecture (see, e.g., Weaver and Clements, 1938; Schenk and Jackson, 2002; Townsend et al., 2000) and soil erosion rates (see, e.g., Govers et al., 1990), it is important to understand the effects of soil type and soil…”
