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): “…in soil drought on fine root dynamics (e.g. Teskey & Hinckley 1981; Burton, Pregitzer & Hendrick 2000; Leuschner et al. 2001a; Tierney et al. 2003; Mainiero & Kazda 2006; Gaul et al. 2008), while only a handful of studies examined trees or stands growing along precipitation gradients or at sites…”
Fine-root morphological and growth traits in a Turkey-oak stand in relation to seasonal changes in soil moisture in the Southern Apennines, Italy (2012, background): “It has been suggested that this seasonal variation could reflect seasonal variations of water and consequent nutrient availability (Coners and Leuschner 2005; Vanguelova et al. 2005; Mainiero and Kazda 2006) as well as an ontogenic response to local conditions (Chiatante et al.”
How tree roots respond to drought (2015, background): “Adding water and alleviating drought should increase whole-plant productivity and increase root lifespan (Mainiero and Kazda, 2006; Meier and Leuschner, 2008b).”
