• The role of fine and coarse roots in shallow slope stability and soil erosion control with a focus on root system architecture: a review (2007, result): “Although several studies observed the asymmetry, the direction of root clustering differs between studies (Chiatante et al. 2002; Di Iorio et al. 2005; Nicoll et al. 2006; Soethe et al. 2006a).”
• Plant root traits affecting the resistance of soils to concentrated flow erosion (2012, background): “For example, as the trees grow, root systemmorphological and architectural features change (Chiatante et al., 2003), whichmaymodify plant effects on soil processes.”
• The Influence of Cellulose Content on Tensile Strength in Tree Roots (2005, background): “For example, trees growing on slopes may develop a specific type of root system architecture, as the mechanical function of the uphill portion of the root system is different to that downhill (Chiatante et al., 2003; Köstler et al., 1968; Shrestha et al., 2000).”
