Root functional parameters along a land‐use gradient: evidence of a community‐level economics spectrum (2015, background): “Despite this evidence, only few in situ studies have considered root traits at a community level (FP; functional parameters sensu Violle et al. 2007) (Holdaway et al. 2011; P erez-Ramos et al. 2012; Valverde-Barrantes et al. 2013).”
The reciprocal relationship between competition and intraspecific trait variation (2016, result): “This is consistent with previous findings that both root trait dissimilarity and root trait plasticity alter plant coexistence at small scales (Valverde-Barrantes et al. 2013).”
Sampling roots to capture plant and soil functions (2017, methodology): “…species, alternative root sampling methods have been proposed that consist of (i) adopting a lower cut-off limit at ≤1 mm (e.g. Liu et al. 2010; Valverde-Barrantes et al. 2013), (ii) splitting the fine root pool based on individual root orders (order-based classification, e.g. Kong et al.…”
Patterns in intraspecific variation in root traits are species‐specific along an elevation gradient (2020, result): “(2017) found the opposite pattern for SRL, but other studies found outcomes similar to ours (Burton et al., 2017; Ding et al., 2020; Valverde-Barrantes et al., 2013).”
Climate, soil and plant functional types as drivers of global fine‐root trait variation (2017, background): “Studies are also needed that determine whether interspecific differences in root traits measured in controlled conditions are conserved under natural conditions (Freschet et al. 2013a; Valverde-Barrantes et al. 2013).”
