Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the growth, nutrient uptake and glycyrrhizin production of licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch) (2007, background): “These changes seemed to be dependent on fungal and plant species, as well as on environmental conditions (Smith and Read 1997; Bouma et al. 2001).”
Heterogeneity of individual roots within the fine root architecture: causal links between physiological and ecosystem functions (2007, methodology): “…and citrus roots with longer longevity (ca. 300 days) using this model suggested that roots with shorter longevity may have a higher maximum uptake capacity and that their age-related declines in uptake capacity are more pronounced than those with roots with longer longevity (Bouma et al. 2001b).”
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Controls of Fine Root Life Span (2013, background): “The capacity of a fine root to uptake nutrients and water decreases with age, either through a reduction in physiological activity and/or a depletion in the availability of surrounding nutrients and water (Bouma et al., 2001; Wells and Eissenstat, 2003; Volder et al., 2005).”
Linking fine root traits to maximum potential growth rate among 11 mature temperate tree species (2004, background): “Second, root physiology can vary sharply with root age, and the relationship between age and physiology can also vary between species (Comas, Eissenstat & Lakso 2000; Bouma et al. 2001).”
COMPARISONS OF STRUCTURE AND LIFE SPAN IN ROOTS AND LEAVES AMONG TEMPERATE TREES (2006, background): “The transition of roots from white to pigmented usually indicates a reduction in root metabolic activity (Comas et al. 2000, Bouma et al. 2001).”
Review: the interaction between rootstocks and cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) to enhance drought tolerance in grapevine (2014, background): “A similar trend is shown with phosphate uptake in apple and citrus trees (Bouma et al. 2001).”
Competition for Nutrients and Optimal Root Allocation (2006, background): “Yanai et al. and subsequent papers (Bouma et al. 2001; Eissenstat and Yanai 1997; Volder et al. 2005) hypothesized that plants adjust allocation and the traits of roots in order to optimize the efficiency of uptake relative to expenditures.”
Biological and environmental factors controlling root dynamics and function: effects of root ageing and soil moisture (2010, unknown): “Uptake potential of phosphate also has been shown to decline with root age in other fruit crops (Bouma et al. 2001).”
