Challenging the tragedy of the commons in root competition: confounding effects of neighbour presence and substrate volume (2007, background): “If there is a decelerating relationship between substrate volume and plant mass, and greater inequality in total mass of plants grown with competitors than of plants grown alone (due to size-asymmetric competition; Weiner 1990; Schwinning & Weiner 1998; Cahill 2002), average mass per individual will”
Root and shoot competition: a meta‐analysis (2013, methodology): “Again, experimental results vary substantially with some studies finding a positive interaction (e.g. Cahill 1999, 2002), while others find no interaction (e.g. Lamb, Shore & Cahill 2007; Bartelheimer, Gowing & Silvertown 2010).”
Above‐ versus below‐ground competitive effects and responses of a guild of temperate tree species (2009, background): “Manipulative field studies with annual plants and short-lived perennials have shown that shoot and root competition are not necessarily independent processes (e.g. Cahill 1999, 2002 ).”
Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, background): “Interactions between root and shoot competition occur frequently, and, unless otherwise noted, the necessary experimental separation of aboveand below-ground effects (McPhee & Aarssen 2001; Cahill 2002a) has been carried out in the root competition studies reviewed here.”
Differential genetic influences on competitive effect and response in Arabidopsis thaliana (2005, background): “Traits outside the root system can influence below-ground competitive ability if root and shoot competition interact to affect plant growth (Cahill 1999, 2002), or if competitive ability is a characteristic of a plant (Grime 2001).”
Lack of relationship between below‐ground competition and allocation to roots in 10 grassland species (2003, background): “Above- and belowground competition interact to affect plant growth (Cahill 1999, 2002a), and thus traits that influence above-ground competitive ability may also alter belowground competitive ability.”
Identifying mechanisms of competition in multi‐species communities (2007, background): “2002), species density (Howard 2001) and facilitation (Tewksbury & Lloyd 2001), as well as below-ground aspects such as root competition (Cahill 2002; Rajaniemi 2003), mycorrhization (Marler et al .”
Influence of Environmental Variability on Root Dynamics in Northern Forests (2009, background): “Intense root competition between individual plants for similar, locally finite soil nutrients and growing space can significantly reduce overall plant fitness ( Mou et al. , 1995 ; Cahill, 2002 ; Callaway, 2002 ; Schenk, 2006 ).”
Above‐ and below‐ground competition between barley, wheat, lupin and vetch in a cereal and legume intercropping system (2009, background): “In these conditions, there was possibly a lower photosynthetic capacity of the leaves and thus the negative effect of the shading (above-ground competition) was enhanced (Cahill, 2002).”
