Global Root Traits (GRooT) Database (2020, background): “…to capture key dimensions of plant form and function, plant evolutionary history and responses to environmental variability (Bardgett et al., 2014; Freschet et al., 2017; Kong et al., 2019; Laliberté, 2016; Ma et al., 2018; Valverde-Barrantes et al., 2017), they remain underrepresented in…”
Climate and soil nutrients differentially drive multidimensional fine root traits in ectomycorrhizal‐dominated alpine coniferous forests (2020, background): “Fine roots are the most dynamic and metabolically active guild of plant roots responsible for plant resource acquisition as well as a wealth of other important ecological processes (Bardgett, Mommer, & De Vries, 2014; Erktan, McCormack, & Roumet, 2018; Freschet et al., 2017).”
Sampling roots to capture plant and soil functions (2017, methodology): “It also differs from measures made on first-order roots only, where high SRL1st is associated with rapid growth of roots in response to spatial and temporal increases in soil resource availability (Eissenstat et al. 2015) (Fig.”
