• Endogenous and exogenous controls of root life span, mortality and nitrogen flux in a longleaf pine forest: root branch order predominates (2008, result): “Estimates of root life span from this study and previous studies indicate that first order tree roots are annual structures (Majdi et al. 2001; King et al. 2002; Wells et al. 2002; Withington et al. 2006).”
• Heterogeneity of individual roots within the fine root architecture: causal links between physiological and ecosystem functions (2007, background): “Furthermore, individual roots within the fi ne root architecture have heterogeneous ecosystem functions, such as productivity, mortality, and decomposability (Hishi and Takeda 2005b; King et al. 2002; Majdi et al. 2001; Ruess et al. 2003; Wells and Eissenstat 2001).”

• Influence of Environmental Variability on Root Dynamics in Northern Forests (2009, background): “, greater length of roots per given root mass, when growing in nutrient-rich compared to nutrientpoor soils (Eissenstat and Caldwell, 1988; Pregitzer et al., 1993; Mou et al., 1995; Fransen et al., 1998; Majdi et al., 2001).”
• Evaluation of methods to estimate production, biomass and turnover of ectomycorrhizal mycelium in forests soils : A review (2013, background): “It has mostly been used to study mycorrhizal roots tips (e.g. Rygiewicz et al., 1997; Majdi et al., 2001; Tingey et al., 2005), but few attempts have been made to estimate the length and longevity of rhizomorphs and hyphae (Treseder et al.”
• Fine root architecture, morphology, and biomass of different branch orders of two Chinese temperate tree species (2006, methodology): “…have examined structure and function of tree fine roots based on their branching position (Pregitzer et al. 1997, 2002; Wells 1999; Gaudinski et al. 2001; Majdi et al. 2001; Wells et al. 2002; Ruess et al. 2003; Guo et al. 2004), and many questions about root system architecture remain unresolved.”
• Anatomical traits associated with absorption and mycorrhizal colonization are linked to root branch order in twenty-three Chinese temperate tree species. (2008, background): “…begun to question the validity of such a simple division between fine and coarse roots, and the view that all roots of a given size class function in the same way (Majdi et al., 2001; Wells & Eissenstat, 2001; Pregitzer et al., 2002; Wells et al., 2002; Joslin et al., 2006; Guo et al., 2008a,b).”
