Influence of Environmental Variability on Root Dynamics in Northern Forests (2009, background): “Root competition can be generally divided into two broad categories: (i) scramble or exploitative competition and (ii) contest or interference competition (Schenk et al., 1999; de Kroon et al., 2003; Schenk, 2006).”

Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, background): “For summaries of the earlier literature the reader is directed to Caldwell & Richards (1986), Casper & Jackson (1997) and de Kroon et al. (2003) for comprehensive reviews and to more specialist reviews of”
Root responses to nutrients and soil biota: drivers of species coexistence and ecosystem productivity (2012, background): “shallow rooting grasses could coexist on spatially separated water sources (see Kulmatiski et al. 2010). Parrish & Bazzaz (1976) hypothesized that below-ground competition acted as a selective agent in prairie vegetation lowering the overlap in rooting profiles, particularly between more shallow roo”
