Material stiffness, branching pattern and soil matric potential affect the pullout resistance of model root systems (2007, background): “…havemore complex behaviour and material properties due to different surface and frictional properties (root hairs, bark etc.; Bailey et al., 2002; Dupuy et al., 2005; Pradhan et al., 2006), and due to cell wall composition that is a function of root age (lignin, cellulose content, etc.; Genet et…”
Mechanical interactions between neighbouring roots during pullout tests (2012, unknown): “Comprehensive models for root reinforcement include information on root geometry, mechanical properties, and on root-soil mechanical interactions (Dupuy et al. 2005; Pollen 2008; Schwarz et al. 2010c).”
Root Pruning and Stability of Young Willow Oak (2008, unknown): “Dupuy et al. (2005a) also concluded that the number and diameter of roots affected the resistance to tree uprooting.”
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, methodology): “The influence of root architectural characteristics (e.g. branching angle, number of lateral roots) and soil parameters on anchorage of roots in tension was investigated through numerical modelling by Dupuy et al. (2005a), establishing a link between plant-oriented and soil-oriented analyses.”
Root-soil mechanical interactions during pullout and failure of root bundles (2010, methodology): “Previous studies [e.g., Waldron and Dakessian, 1981; Commandeur and Pyles, 1991; Dupuy et al., 2005; Mickovski et al., 2007; Fan and Su, 2008] provide a basis for identifying first‐order control variables that must be included in any root‐ reinforcement model.”
Mangrove root: adaptations and ecological importance (2016, background): “Furthermore, the shape of the roots becomes more oval in weaker soils looking like the ‘‘I’’ shafts regular in engineering (Nicoll and Ray 1996; Clair et al. 2003; Dupuy et al. 2005; Mendez-Alonzo et al. 2015).”
A Numerical Investigation into the Influence of Soil Type and Root Architecture on Tree Anchorage (2005, methodology): “In a similar numerical investigation, Dupuy et al. (2005a) performed sensitivity analyses on the geometrical, topological and constitutive parameters which affect uprooting.”
Plant architecture: a dynamic, multilevel and comprehensive approach to plant form, structure and ontogeny. (2007, methodology): “This methodology may be used for any kind of plant (Barczi et al., 1997) and has also been successfully used to simulate root systems (Jourdan and Rey,1997a, b, c; Danjon et al.,1999a, b, 2005; Dupuy et al., 2005a, b, c, 2006).”
Quantifying lateral root reinforcement in steep slopes – from a bundle of roots to tree stands (2010, background): “In addition to root–soil friction, we consider an increase in resistance due to the presence of branching points (τbr), as reported by several studies (Dupuy et al., 2005a; Norris, 2005; Mickovski et al., 2007).”
The Influence of Cellulose Content on Tensile Strength in Tree Roots (2005, background): “It has generally been assumed that root architecture is the principal component in resisting uprooting of a plant (Ennos, 2000; Dupuy et al., 2005a, b; Hamza et al., 2006; Stokes et al., 2000).”
