- No evidence of spatial root system segregation and elevated fine root biomass in multi-species temperate broad-leaved forests (2009, background): “In fact, Leuschner and Hertel (2002) found a mean fine root biomass total of 482 g m -2 (0–100 cm profile) for 60 broad-”

- Fine root biomass and dynamics in beech forests across a precipitation gradient – is optimal resource partitioning theory applicable to water‐limited mature trees? (2013, background): “…of water availability on the fine root biomass of forest stands (Coomes & Grubb 2000; Fin er et al. 2007, 2011a) or a positive relationship between mean annual precipitation (MAP) and fine root biomass (Leuschner & Hertel 2003; Fin er et al. 2007), which contradicts optimal partitioning theory.”
- Specific root length as an indicator of environmental change (2007, background): “Leuschner & Hertel ( 2002 ) found a highly significant positive relationship between fine root biomass and annual precipitation, but in our analysis of root data from nine Fagus sylvatica temperate forest stands, fine root SRL and biomass were not significantly correlated.”
- Variation in fine root biomass of three European tree species: Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.), and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) (2007, methodology): “In addition, 18 of the beech stands, 20 of the spruce, and 8 pine stands were included from the review of Leuschner & Hertel (2003) concerning tree stands in the temperate zone.”
- Fine-root trait plasticity of beech (Fagus sylvatica) and spruce (Picea abies) forests on two contrasting soils (2017, result): “However, some studies have confirmed this hypothesis (Yuan and Chen 2010; Hertel et al. 2013), while others have not (Leuschner and Hertel 2003; Finér et al. 2007; Meier and Leuschner 2008).”
- Belowground drought response of European beech: fine root biomass and carbon partitioning in 14 mature stands across a precipitation gradient (2008, background): “We tested this prediction in a transect study with 14 mature forest stands of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) by analysing the response of the fine root system to a large decrease in annual precipitation (970–520 mm yr 1).”
