Generalization of the root length density distribution of cotton under film mulched drip irrigation (2015, background): “Different and distinct root distribution patterns are expected o develop as a function of crop planting method (Vrugt et al., 001; Gao et al., 2010; Sampathkumar et al., 2012; Xi et al., 2013).”
Tolerance vs. avoidance: two strategies of soybean (Glycine max) seedlings in response to shade in intercropping (2015, unknown): “Soybean is the fourth most widely cultivated crop worldwide, and also one of the major crops often planted in intercropping patterns (Ghosh et al. 2009, Gao et al. 2010, Echarte et al. 2011).”
Influence of spatial arrangement in maize-soybean intercropping on root growth and water use efficiency (2017, methodology): “Land equivalent ratio”
Root to shoot and carbon to nitrogen ratios of maize and soybean crops in the US Midwest (2020, background): “Phenotypic variation in maize and soybean root systems presents opportunities to improve cropping systems performance (Barber, 1971; Gao et al., 2010; Rosa et al., 2019), but only if this variation can be predicted and explained.”
