Vertical Vegetation Structure Below Ground: Scaling from Root to Globe (2005, background): “of nutrient and water uptake (Casper et al. 2003) and inverse modeling approaches that calculate root function from changes in the distribution of soil resources (Adiku et al.”
The Behavioral Ecology of Nutrient Foraging by Plants (2011, background): “Other work on A. theophrasti using nonradioactive tracers (Table 1) indirectly showed that plants accessed resources at greater distances under heterogeneous than homogenous conditions (Casper et al. 2003).”
Linking root traits and competitive success in grassland species (2016, unknown): “…and mixtures at the end of experiment from the patch (Q1) and opposite quadrant (Q3), we injected rubidium (Rb) and lithium (Li), two potassium-surrogate cations (Kabata-Pendias and Pendias 2000), as tracers at the end of the experimental period (Casper et al. 2003; Hoekstra et al. 2014).”
Competition among plants: Concepts, individual-based modelling approaches, and a proposal for a future research strategy (2008, background): “Such studies provide a quantitative estimation of the shape of the influence kernel in terms of resource uptake (Casper et al., 2003).”
A vertically extended stochastic model of soil moisture in the root zone (2006, background): “However, it is reasonable to believe that in water-controlled plant ecosystems results such as those in Figure 3 can be rather unrealistic: in fact, in water-controlled ecosystems roots tend to preferentially grow where more water is available [e.g., Bengough, 1997; Hsiao and Xu, 2000; Schenk and Ja”
Tree–grass coexistence in savannas revisited – insights from an examination of assumptions and mechanisms invoked in existing models (2004, methodology): “Recent techniques for assessing uptake of marked elements from the soil by surrounding biota (Casper et al. 2003) provide a means for quantitative assessment of the zones of uptake by trees and grasses, and thereby the strength of inter- and intra-life form competition for soil moisture and…”
Rhizoeconomics: Carbon costs of phosphorus acquisition (2005, background): “Soil resources are often the subject of intense competition among neighboring plants (Casper et al., 2003).”
Coarse root architecture of three boreal tree species growing in mixed stands (2008, background): “However, root systems can be highly asymmetric owing to the effect of non-symmetric mechanical stress (Coutts 1986, Coutts et al. 1999) and patchy nutrient availability in the soil (Lynch 1995, Casper et al. 2003 ).”
Neighbourhood analyses of the allelopathic effects of the invasive tree Ailanthus altissima in temperate forests (2008, unknown): “Finally, the influence of plants below-ground is often presumed to decrease exponentially with distance to the stem (Casper et al. 2003), suggesting that root exudation of allochemicals should also suffer a sharp decrease with distance.”
Noise-Induced Phenomena in the Environmental Sciences (2011, background): “lateral roots extend beyond the edges of the crown (Casper et al., 2003; Barbier et al., 2008) and extract water and nutrients from the intercanopy areas (Martens et al.”
