Quantifying lateral root reinforcement in steep slopes – from a bundle of roots to tree stands (2010, background): “Mechanically important characteristics of root structure are branching order (Wang et al., 2006) and branching intervals along the root.”
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, result): “Apart from some contrasting results (Wang et al. 2006), most investigations found a constant branching ratio for fine root systems, especially in grasses and herbs (Fitter 1987).”
N fertilization affects on soil respiration, microbial biomass and root respiration in Larix gmelinii and Fraxinus mandshurica plantations in China (2010, unknown): “The mean annual precipitation is 723 mm with 477 mm occurring in June, July and August (Zhou 1994), and the mean annual evapotranspiration is 1,094 mm. The soil is Hap-Boric Luvisol (Gong et al. 1999), more details about soil were given by Wang et al. 2006 .”
Linking above- and belowground resource use strategies for native and invasive species of temperate deciduous forests (2015, background): “However, as most of our study species, including non-natives, have mycorrhizal roots (Brundrett et al. 1990; Wang et al. 2006; Akhmetzhanova et al. 2012), whether nonnative species associate with more effective N foraging mycorrhizal symbionts remains to be tested.”
