Carbon cost of plant nitrogen acquisition: A mechanistic, globally applicable model of plant nitrogen uptake, retranslocation, and fixation (2010, background): “Retranslocation is the resorption (both terms are used interchangeably) of N in leaves before senescence or leaf fall (root resorption is minimal [e.g., Gordon and Jackson, 2000 ]).”
Patterns and Mechanisms of Nutrient Resorption in Plants (2015, background): “Nutrient resorption in senescing fine roots was originally thought to be negligible compared with that of foliage and other tissues (Gill and Jackson, 2000; Gordon and Jackson, 2000).”
Mixed-species plantations of Acacia mangium and Eucalyptus grandis in Brazil: 2: Nitrogen accumulation in the stands and biological N2 fixation (2008, background): “However, the available information suggests that N retranslocation in fine roots is limited (Gordon and Jackson, 2000).”
Fine root demography and morphology in response to soil resources availability among xeric and mesic sandhill tree species (2002, background): “Fine root turnover is a significant component of below-ground carbon budgets (Bloomfield, Vogt & Wargo 1996; Caldwell & Richards 1986; Eissenstat & Yanai 1997), and affects nutrient cycles due to the minimal retranslocation of nutrients from roots during senescence ( Gordon & Jackson 2000; Nambiar ”
N : P ratios in terrestrial plants: variation and functional significance. (2004, background): “Nutrient losses with root litter are likely to be important as there seems to be little or no resorption during root senescence, but this has rarely been quantified (Aerts et al ., 1992; Gordon & Jackson, 2000).”
Global patterns of root turnover for terrestrial ecosystems (2000, background): “Given that little, if any, retranslocation of nutrients occurs before fine-root senescence, root turnover is a strong nutrient sink for most plants (Aerts, 1990; Nambiar & Fife, 1991; Gordon & Jackson, 2000).”
Longevity and turnover of roots in the shortgrass steppe: influence of diameter and depth (2002, background): “In addition, root turnover represents an input of nutrient-rich organic substrate to belowground food webs and is a significant loss of nutrients from plants (Nambiar 1987; Dubach and Russelle 1994; Gordon and Jackson 2000).”
Evidence of the ‘plant economics spectrum’ in a subarctic flora (2010, background): “This is surprising, as leaf and root P contents usually covary with other nutrients (Thompson et al. 1997; Gordon & Jackson 2000), notably N.”
C:N:P stoichiometry in China's forests: From organs to ecosystems (2018, methodology): “:P was 706:15:1 in our study, whereas it was 522:12:1 in the previous global- scale study (Gordon & Jackson, 2000).”
The Microbial Efficiency‐Matrix Stabilization (MEMS) framework integrates plant litter decomposition with soil organic matter stabilization: do labile plant inputs form stable soil organic matter? (2013, background): “…with as little as 0.1–0.5% in heartwood and needle litter (Berg & McClaugherty, © 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 19, 988–995 2008), an average of 1.1% in fine roots (Gordon & Jackson, 2000), a range of 1–3% in broadleaves and up to 3–5% in several legumes and annual crops.”
Quantifying Fine-Root Decomposition: An Alternative to Buried Litterbags (2002, background): “In general, fine roots have higher nutrient concentrations than coarser roots (e.g., Gordon and Jackson 2000).”
