• Root traits contributing to plant productivity under drought (2013, background): “Small diameter roots with greater SRL enable plants to efficiently increase hydraulic conductance by increasing surface area in contact with soil water, increasing the volume of soil that can be explored for water, and, also, increasing root hydraulic conductivity by decreasing the apoplastic barrie”
• Root traits are related to plant water-use among rangeland Mediterranean species (2017, background): “These traits should provide the roots with greater soil penetration ability (Clark, Whalley & Barraclough 2003; Chimungu, Loades & Lynch 2015) and greater water conductance capacity than thin roots in shallow soil layers (Ryser 1998; Hern andez et al. 2010; Wang et al. 2016).”
• EVOLUTIONARY PATTERNS AND BIOGEOCHEMICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ANGIOSPERM ROOT TRAITS (2012, unknown): “1) and the hydraulic conductance of root systems (Eissenstat and Achor 1999; Rieger and Litvin 1999; Huang and Eissenstat 2000; Solari et al. 2006; Hernández et al. 2009).”
• Root functional parameters along a land‐use gradient: evidence of a community‐level economics spectrum (2015, background): “The FPs observed in deep roots may also be related to their water transport capacity, which would maximize water uptake and transport from deep layers where water has accumulated (Hern andez et al. 2010).”
• Tradeoffs between functional strategies for resource-use and drought-survival in Mediterranean rangeland species (2013, background): “Root traits have been rarely measured in onjunction with leaf traits despite their recognized implication in echanisms dealing with drought (e.g. Poorter and Markesteijn, 008; Hernández et al., 2010).”
• A plant economics spectrum in Mediterranean forests along environmental gradients: is there coordination among leaf, stem and root traits? (2016, background): “Most studies have focused on trait coordination along natural wide environmental gradients (Wright et al. 2004; Tjoelker et al. 2005; Baraloto et al. 2010; Fortunel et al. 2012) or changing greenhouse (or laboratory) conditions (Reich et al. 1998b; Hernández et al. 2010).”
