Depth-related fine root dynamics of Fagus sylvatica during exceptional drought (2006, background): “turnover), fine roots belong to highly dynamic plant organs (Hendrick and Pregitzer, 1993; Lauenroth and Gill, 2003) and fine root turnover”
Longevity and turnover of roots in the shortgrass steppe: influence of diameter and depth (2002, background): “Numerous studies have identified controls over root longevity, with soil microenvironment being the dominant factor (Eissenstat and Yanai 1997; Bloomfield et al. 1996; Lauenroth and Gill 2002; Hendrick and Pregitzer 1996a).”
Belowground drought response of European beech: fine root biomass and carbon partitioning in 14 mature stands across a precipitation gradient (2008, background): “Soil nitrogen availability has been found to influence fine root production and the root standing stock of trees negatively (Tisdale et al., 1985; Côté et al., 1998; Lauenroth & Gill, 2003).”
Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes. (2008, unknown): “Litter quality from broadleaf trees is generally higher than that from needle leaf trees (Silver & Miya 2001), but differences between species or even between genotypes may be as large due to specific plant compounds (Lauenroth & Gill 2003; Whitham et al. 2006).”
Fine root biomass and dynamics in beech forests across a precipitation gradient – is optimal resource partitioning theory applicable to water‐limited mature trees? (2013, methodology): “…availability, soil acidity and some other biotic and abiotic factors, water availability has been found to be a key factor influencing the fine root biomass and fine root turnover of trees (Pregitzer, Hendrick & Fogel 1993; Eissenstat et al. 2000; Lauenroth & Gill 2003; Leuschner & Hertel 2003).”
Influence of Environmental Variability on Root Dynamics in Northern Forests (2009, background): “Therefore, any factor which increases below-ground production or root death and decomposition will increase absolute root turnover (Lauenroth and Gill, 2003).”
Fine-root mass, growth and nitrogen content for six tropical tree species (2007, background): “(Lauenroth and Gill 2003), the observed rates in this study, which ranged from 1.”
