Heterogeneity of individual roots within the fine root architecture: causal links between physiological and ecosystem functions (2007, background): “…physiological, and morphological characteristics within the fi ne root architecture differ with species (Bouma et al. 2001a, b; Comas et al. 2002; Pregitzer et al. 2002), nutrient concentration (Cruz et al. 2004; Pregitzer et al. 2002), soil layer (Bauhus and Messier 1998; Fujimaki et al. 2004;…”

Fine-root mass, growth and nitrogen content for six tropical tree species (2007, background): “patterns influence root chemistry and dynamics (Guo et al. 2004; Pregitzer et al. 2002).”
Very fine roots respond to soil depth: biomass allocation, morphology, and physiology in a broad-leaved temperate forest (2010, background): “For example, the metabolic activity of fine roots is higher for lower-order and smaller diameter roots (Pregitzer et al. 1998, 2002; Guo et al. 2004, 2008a; Makita et al. 2009).”
Decomposition of the finest root branching orders: linking belowground dynamics to fine-root function and structure (2011, methodology): “Root orders were identified by the morphometric approach, as described by Fitter (1982) and refined by Pregitzer et al. (2002) and collected from 4–8 cm long fine-root segments, using stand-alone magnifying glasses and tweezers.”
Fine root biomass and dynamics in beech forests across a precipitation gradient – is optimal resource partitioning theory applicable to water‐limited mature trees? (2013, background): “…roots by branch order as done in some recent studies to hold account on the importance of fine root heterogeneity in branch order topology (see e.g. Pregitzer et al. 2002; Guo et al. 2008) (i) due to the enormously high numbers of rootlets < 2 mm in diameter in a single soil sample that were…”
RECONSTRUCTING PLANT ROOT AREA AND WATER UPTAKE PROFILES (2004, methodology): “This is a difficult comparison because the RAPID algorithm gives active root area, but field studies typically measure physical attributes of the root system such as root biomass, which often does not reflect root function (Plamboeck et al., 1999, Pregitzer et al., 2002).”
Endogenous and exogenous controls of root life span, mortality and nitrogen flux in a longleaf pine forest: root branch order predominates (2008, methodology): “2006), morphology (Pregitzer et al. 2002) and chemistry (Pregitzer et al.”
Anatomical traits associated with absorption and mycorrhizal colonization are linked to root branch order in twenty-three Chinese temperate tree species. (2008, methodology): “However, our results also support the possibility that several orders might form a functional module as proposed by Pregitzer et al. (2002) because first two or three order roots were similar in anatomy.”
Quantifying lateral root reinforcement in steep slopes – from a bundle of roots to tree stands (2010, background): “Pregitzer et al. (2002) considered the life cycle of lateral fi ne roots as deciduous elements in the same sense as leaves or needles.”
Influence of Environmental Variability on Root Dynamics in Northern Forests (2009, background): “A highly branched root system is more expensive to construct and maintain than one that is less branched (Eissenstat, 1992; Pregitzer et al., 2002; Hutchings and John, 2003).”
Fine root architecture, morphology, and biomass of different branch orders of two Chinese temperate tree species (2006, methodology): “The order-morphology relationship of the three finest root orders (first, second, and third) have been found to be similar between the summers of two consecutive years (Pregitzer et al. 2002), however, we do not know whether the relationship varies with season and soil depth, the two factors highly ”
Linking fine root traits to maximum potential growth rate among 11 mature temperate tree species (2004, background): “Consequently few comparative root studies have been done with mature trees (but see Pregitzer et al . 2002 ).”
