Comparison of deficit irrigation management strategies on root, plant growth and biomass productivity of silage maize (2017, unknown): “…of root sampling and the wide variety of sampling techniques (with multiple sources of quantified uncertainty) have led to a paucity of maize RB data in the literature, and only a few researchers have endeavored to characterize the RSR throughout an entire growing season (Amos and Walters, 2006).”
Interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate-solubilizing fungus (Mortierella sp.) and their effects on Kostelelzkya virginica growth and enzyme activities of rhizosphere and bulk soils at different salinities (2011, background): “The P solubilization occurs in the rhizosphere soil where organic compounds are released by roots or mycorrhizae (Nguyen 2003; Amos and Walters 2006).”
Carbon input by roots into the soil: Quantification of rhizodeposition from root to ecosystem scale (2018, background): “During early phases of fast vegetative growth, plants have higher root-to-shoot ratios than older plants (Amos & Walters, 2006).”
Root to shoot and carbon to nitrogen ratios of maize and soybean crops in the US Midwest (2020, methodology): “We selected these stages in order to capture the maximum root biomass per crop (Kaspar et al., 1978; Amos and Walters, 2006) and avoid root dry matter decomposition or root N remobilization to shoot biomass.”
Small but active – pool size does not matter for carbon incorporation in below‐ground food webs (2016, background): “This growth stage was chosen since maize root biomass is maximal just after anthesis (Amos & Walters 2006).”
Spatial distribution of maize roots by complete 3D soil monolith sampling (2009, background): “The root/shoot ratios approach final values at tasseling of about 0.2 that are relatively similar for all plots and comparable with those reported elsewhere ( Amos and Walters 2006 ).”
Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “…to be involved in the enhanced mobilization and acquisition for many nutrients in soil, there is little mechanistic evidence from soil-based systems to verify this, which is further highlighted by a recent analysis of the literature concerning rhizodeposition by maize (Amos and Walters 2006).”
