Root anchorage and its significance for submerged plants in shallow lakes (2005, background): “Recent rapid advances in our understanding of the mechanics of anchorage have been focused on relatively rigid, selfsupporting terrestrial plants, particularly agricultural crops and trees (Ennos 1990; Baker et al. 1998; Ennos 2000).”
Influence of root characteristics and soil variables on the uprooting mechanics of Avena sativa and Medicago sativa seedlings (2014, background): “We expect that a larger contact area between roots and sediment contributes to this fact, perhaps by enhancing the role of tortuosity as found by Ennos (2000) and Dupuy et al. (2005) in the presence of big stones.”
The Influence of Cellulose Content on Tensile Strength in Tree Roots (2005, background): “It has generally been assumed that root architecture is the principal component in resisting uprooting of a plant (Ennos, 2000; Dupuy et al., 2005, 2006; Hamza et al., 2006; Stokes et al., 2000).”
Root anchorage of saplings and cuttings of woody pioneer species in a riparian environment (2003, background): “Differences in uprooting resistance between sediments are likely to be due to differences in root system development (cf. Ennos 2000).”
