Can optimal defence theory be used to predict the distribution of plant chemical defences? (2010, unknown): “Recently, the marginal value theorem has been used to predict root foraging in plants (McNickle & Cahill 2009) and optimality models have been developed to predict root density under various resource scenarios (Craine 2006).”
Nitrogen Enhances the Competitive Ability of Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) Relative to Native Grasses (2008, background): “Most native perennial species have relatively slow growth rates, but are able to efficiently utilize nutrients in limited supply relative to plants with high growth rates (Arredondo et al. 1998; Daehler 2003; Harpole 2006).”
Competitive interactions between two meadow grasses under nitrogen and phosphorus limitation (2010, background): “Under competition, rapid nutrient uptake and effective preemption of soil nutrients are critical for species performance, and these processes are influenced by biomass allocation to roots as well as morphological and physiological properties of the roots (Hodge et al. 1999; Craine, Fargione & Sugita”
Mechanisms of plant competition for nutrients, water and light (2013, methodology): “Craine (2006) used the fine-scale model of soils and roots to calculate optimal rooting densities under competitive and noncompetitive scenarios.”
Root traits are related to plant water-use among rangeland Mediterranean species (2017, background): “Both thin roots and high RLD are good indicators of efficient soil foraging and high resource acquisition capacity (Reich et al. 1998; Craine 2006; Mommer et al. 2011), whereas a large root © 2017 The Authors.”
Assembling the Tree of the Monocotyledons: Plastome Sequence Phylogeny and Evolution of Poales1 (2010, background): “…(6) the negative effect that certain grasses have on nongrasses, at least in the short term, via the very large absorptive root surface developed by grasses and their consequent ability to reduce the levels of soil nitrate available to other plants (see Craine, 2006; Dybzinski & Tilman, 2007).”
Games roots play: effects of soil volume and nutrients (2008, background): “Craine (2006) modelled optimal carbon and nitrogen allocation to roots in isolated and competing temperate grasses, which are generally perennials.”
