Intrinsic and Extrinsic Controls of Fine Root Life Span (2013, background): “Understanding the underlying controls and constraints of fine root life span may be especially important considering the strong empirical evidence suggesting that the fate of terrestrial belowground C stocks and sequestration may be highly dependent upon how plants adjust their fine root productivit”
Root responses to nutrients and soil biota: drivers of species coexistence and ecosystem productivity (2012, background): “Brassard et al. (2011) recently reported elevated root biomass of some tree species in mixed- compared with single-species stands, leading to higher fine root biomass of all species combined, especially in the densely rooted organic top layer.”
Is Tree Species Diversity or Species Identity the More Important Driver of Soil Carbon Stocks, C/N Ratio, and pH? (2016, background): “…quality (Scherer-Lorenzen et al., 2007a) while below-ground mechanisms include litter 60 decomposition, vertical stratification of tree roots (Brassard et al., 2011), root litter inputs (Brassard et al., 61 2013), root turnover (Brassard et al., 2011; Lei et al., 2012), root exudates…”
Species specific growth responses of black spruce and trembling aspen may enhance resilience of boreal forest to climate change (2013, background): “…in the onset of leaf development in spring (Man & Lieffers 1997; Green 2004), in the organization of the root systems (Burns & Honkala 1990b; Brassard et al. 2011) and mineral nutrition (Kielland, McFarland & Olson 2006) between spruce and aspen imply that these species have sufficiently…”
Tree species diversity increases fine root productivity through increased soil volume filling (2013, background): “Journal of Ecology © 2013 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 101, 210–219 Brassard et al. 2011; Lei, Scherer-Lorenzen & Bauhus 2012) indicate that positive diversity effects on fine root productivity in forest ecosystems are common.”
Competition for light and water play contrasting roles in driving diversity–productivity relationships in Iberian forests (2014, background): “…2012), exhibit fewer pest and pathogen outbreaks (Pautasso, Holdenrieder & Stenlid 2005; Jactel & Brockerhoff 2007), store more carbon below-ground (Brassard et al. 2011; Lei, Scherer-Lorenzen & Bauhus 2012; Gamfeldt et al. 2013), and cycle nutrients more efficiently (Rothe & Binkley 2001;…”
Forest productivity increases with evenness, species richness and trait variation: a global meta‐analysis (2012, background): “Previous empirical DPR studies in forest ecosystems have reported positive (e.g. MacPherson, Lieffers & Blenis 2001; Garber & Maguire 2004; Amoroso & Turnblom 2006; Pretzsch & Schutze 2009; Brassard et al. 2011), insignificant or even negative (e.”
