• COMPARISONS OF STRUCTURE AND LIFE SPAN IN ROOTS AND LEAVES AMONG TEMPERATE TREES (2006, background): “Within the root system of a plant, diameter has often been an important correlate of root life span (Gill et al. 2002, Wells et al. 2002, Anderson et al. 2003); however, it was not an important characteristic in our study.”
• Root production is determined by radiation flux in a temperate grassland community (2004, methodology): “Roots in shaded plots had a much greater SRL, which in many species would reduce longevity (Wells & Eissenstat, 2001; Gill et al., 2002; Van der Krift & Berendse, 2002).”
• VESSEL REDUNDANCY: MODELING SAFETY IN NUMBERS (2007, background): “has been shown that mortality of roots is directly proportional to both root diameter and to water availability in the soil (Gill et al. 2002), suggesting a link between number of conduits and probability of conduit embolism (water availability).”
