• Genotypic variation in seedling root architectural traits and implications for drought adaptation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2008, background): “root architecture), with the implication that the overall geometric configuration has some functional significance for the temporal and spatial patterns of water and nutrient acquisition ( Fitter 1987, 2002 #872; Lynch 1995 #884).”
• Fine root architecture, morphology, and biomass of different branch orders of two Chinese temperate tree species (2006, methodology): “1) (Fitter 1982, 1987; Pregitzer et al. 2002).”
• Sampling roots to capture plant and soil functions (2017, background): “…a historical perspective While root traits have been broadly studied for many decades (e.g. rooting depth and density, root length and branching; Fitter 1987; Schenk & Jackson 2002), over 95% of fine root trait data from our dataset have been gathered or published in the last 15 years (Fig.”
• Functional correlations between specific leaf area and specific root length along a regional environmental gradient in Inner Mongolia grasslands (2016, background): “It has been proposed that plant root systems are a combination of heterogeneous individual roots (Fitter 1987).”
• 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, background): “2006), most investigations found a constant branching ratio for fine root systems, especially in grasses and herbs (Fitter 1987).”
• Acquisition of phosphorus and nitrogen in the rhizosphere and plant growth promotion by microorganisms (2009, background): “Thicker roots may be more costly to produce but have greater capacity for the transport of water and nutrients and are less vulnerable to adverse edaphic conditions (Fitter 1987).”
