Root-soil mechanical interactions during pullout and failure of root bundles (2010, methodology): “Since the scaling factor (or so‐called root diameter proportionality factor) [Van Noordwijk et al., 1994; Ozier‐Lafontaine et al., 1999; Vercambre et al., 2003; Collet et al., 2006] is defined as”
Acquisition of phosphorus and other poorly mobile nutrients by roots. Where do plant nutrition models fail? (2011, background): “However, linkage appears feasible in architectural models where topological relationships among different root types make it possible (Collet et al. 2006; Jourdan and Rey 1997a; Vercambre et al. 2003).”
Mechanical interactions between neighbouring roots during pullout tests (2012, unknown): “Root diameter increases towards the stem in proportion to a scaling factor (s) (Van Noordwijk et al. 1994; OzierLafontaine et al. 1999; Vercambre et al. 2003; Collet et al. 2006; Schwarz et al. 2010c), defined as s ¼ b L AðlÞ A0 ð2Þ where b [m] is the distance between each branching point…”
Modelling the rhizosphere: a review of methods for ‘upscaling’ to the whole‐plant scale (2006, background): “…built using similar concepts but differing slightly in their implementation are available for crops, e.g. wheat (Diggle, 1988), maize (Pagès et al., 1989), pea (Tsegaye et al., 1995) and bean (Lynch et al., 1997), and tree species, e.g. palm (Jourdan & Rey, 1997) and plum (Vercambre et al., 2003).”
Quantifying lateral root reinforcement in steep slopes – from a bundle of roots to tree stands (2010, methodology): “We propose the use of simple morphogenetic parameters such as mean radial branching distance and root diameter ‘proportionality factor’ (Van Noordwijk et al., 1994; Ozier-Lafontaine et al., 1999; Vercambre et al., 2003; Collet et al., 2006).”
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): “Although, developed and validated with field data, root architecture modelling (Dupuy et al. 2005b; Fitter et al. 1991; Pagès 2000; Vercambre et al. 2003) can be considered a separate methodology, as opposed to purely observational methods.”
Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “Here the parent axis duplicates into two (or three) axes of the same morphological type and creates forks in the root system which can profoundly impact upon tree root system architecture (Vercambre et al. 2003).”
