Patterns and Mechanisms of Nutrient Resorption in Plants (2015, background): “…is costly (Ryan et al., 1996), and there is a longer mean residence time of carbon within the fine roots of trees than in the fine roots of grasses (Chen and Brassard, 2013; Solly et al., 2013), which suggests a higher degree of storage capacity, recycling, and cellulose formation in woody plants.”
How tree roots respond to drought (2015, background): “In a review of root lifespan, Chen and Brassard (2013) found that ﬁne root lifespan did not change with soil water addition when evaluated using pooled lifespan data but was marginally longer with water addition when evaluated based on the size of the treatment eﬀect.”
