• Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “Root architecture can be described by synthetic descriptors such as fractal dimensions, which represent the space filled by the roots (Tatsumi et al. 1989), or the relationship between the basal root and total root system size (van Noordwijk and Mulia 2002).”
• Temporal change in carbon stocks of cocoa–gliricidia agroforests in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia (2008, background): “The premise of FBA is that trees follow fractal (self-repeating) branching rules (van Noordwijk 2002; van Noordwijk and Mulia 2002; Mulia 2001; Spek and van Noordwijk 1994; van Noordwijk et al. 1994).”
• The role of fine and coarse roots in shallow slope stability and soil erosion control with a focus on root system architecture: a review (2007, background): “Besides fractal branching concepts (Van Noordwijk and Mulia 2002), fractal theory offers a parameter FD known as the fractal dimension, which can be viewed as a relative measure of complexity, or as an index of the scale-dependency of a pattern.”
• Towards a functional and simplified allometry for estimating forest biomass (2006, background): “Zianis and Mencuccini (2004), considering the distribution of b values collected from the literature using the least square model I regression, estimated an empirical b = 2.36, 1 Bonazza (1979) A. alba 21 20419 14147 16.9 2 Cannell (1982) P. glauca 8 334 281 16.9 3 Martin et al.

• Tree Roots Anchoring and Binding Soil: Reducing Landslide Risk in Indonesian Agroforestry (2020, methodology): “Compared to other methods of observing tree root characteristics the proximal root method, based on fractal branching theory [42], allowed a much wider part of the field-level variation among sites, tree species, tree management, and tree size to be sampled, with an investment of 1–2 person-hours pe”
