An optimality-based model of the coupled soil moisture and root dynamics (2008, unknown): “The dynamics of root systems are also reviewed in Schenk (2005).”
Fine root biomass and dynamics in beech forests across a precipitation gradient – is optimal resource partitioning theory applicable to water‐limited mature trees? (2013, background): “Many factors are affecting root growth and root system size (e.g. Schenk 2005).”
A vertically extended stochastic model of soil moisture in the root zone (2006, background): “... results such as those in Figure 3 can be rather unrealistic: in fact, in water-controlled ecosystems roots tend to preferentially grow where more water is available [e.g., Bengough, 1997; Hsiao and Xu, 2000; Schenk and Jackson, 2002; Wilderotter, 2003; Casper et al., 2003], a phenomenon which go”
Tradeoffs between functional strategies for resource-use and drought-survival in Mediterranean rangeland species (2013, result): “Our findings support previous studies reporting large between-species 430 differences in the minimum value of soil water at which roots elongate, with the lowest values 431 appearing in those species better-adapted to drought (Schenk, 2005).”
Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, background): “2 m of the soil, including litter layers, contains almost 60% of all roots (Schenk 2005).”
