Genotypic variation in drought response of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth): leaf and root morphology and carbon partitioning (2005, background): “Changes in the ratio of root mass:shoot mass (R/S) or fine root mass:leaf mass (FR/LM) as a response to drought have been observed in many drought experiments with tree seedlings or saplings (Dickson and Tomlinson 1996; Joslin et al. 2000), but the results were controversial.”
Belowground drought response of European beech: fine root biomass and carbon partitioning in 14 mature stands across a precipitation gradient (2008, background): “Field manipulation of the hydrology of forests such as throughfall exclusion experiments will yield more realistic results (e.g. Joslin et al., 2000; Davidson et al., 2004; Borken et al., 2006), but often lack sufficient site replication and exclude long-term adaptive responses of the tree root…”
Global patterns of root turnover for terrestrial ecosystems (2000, background): “Individual root longevity is determined primarily by soil microsite conditions (Friend et al., 1990; Pregitzer et al., 1993, 2000; Joslin et al., 2000), root development patterns (Marshall & Waring, 1985), growing season length, and plant mineral nutrient conservation (Eissenstat & Yanai, 1997;…”
Early root growth plasticity in seedlings of three Mediterranean woody species (2007, unknown): “Evidence suggests that plasticity in R:S ratio may be highly species-specific (Joslin et al. 2000) and that in some species R:S ratio is remarkably stable (Klepper 1991) or subjected to developmental constraints (Gedroc et al. 1996; McConnaughay and Coleman 1999).”
Fine-root morphological and growth traits in a Turkey-oak stand in relation to seasonal changes in soil moisture in the Southern Apennines, Italy (2012, background): “Therefore, a higher biomass allocation to belowground organs is a frequent occurrence during a mild drought, but when water stress continues, root growth usually decreases (Joslin et al. 2000; Chiatante et al. 2005, 2006; Di Iorio et al. 2011).”
How tree roots respond to drought (2015, methodology): “This response has been shown repeatedly using ﬁeld and laboratory experiments (e.g., Joslin et al., 2000; Konôpka et al., 2007; Rühr et al., 2009; Eldhuset et al., 2013; Herzog et al., 2014; Zang et al., 2014), across precipitation gradients (Leuschner et al., 2004; Meier and Leuschner, 2008a), and…”
Depth-related fine root dynamics of Fagus sylvatica during exceptional drought (2006, background): “Observed dynamics immediately following installation, however, were interpreted to be biased due to stimulated root growth (Burke and Raynal, 1994; Joslin et al., 2000).”
Intra-specific variability in biomass partitioning and carbon isotopic discrimination under moderate drought stress in seedlings from four Pinus pinaster populations (2010, background): “Investment in the root system has been traditionally viewed as a mechanism of drought tolerance that would increase the uptake of water and therefore the possibility of improved water status of plants under stress conditions (Ibrahim et al. 1997; Joslin et al. 2000; Pinheiro et al. 2005).”
