Anatomical traits associated with absorption and mycorrhizal colonization are linked to root branch order in twenty-three Chinese temperate tree species. (2008, methodology): “Another method, the intact root method, avoids root excision, but measures uptake of the entire root branching system, and thus can not quantify the differences in uptake capacity among individual roots differing in branching position, chemistry and physiology (Pregitzer et al., 2002; Hishi, 2007).”
Fine root foraging strategies in Norway spruce forests across a European climate gradient (2011, background): “The fine root system of trees is composed of individual roots with heterogeneous anatomical, physiological and morphological functions and characteristics (Eshel & Waisel, 1996; Pregitzer et al., 2002; Hishi, 2007).”
Plant root growth, architecture and function (2009, background): “This anatomical, physiological, and morphological diversity has been called “heterorhizy” (Noelle 1910; Waisel and Eshel 1992; Hishi 2007).”
Climate, soil and plant functional types as drivers of global fine‐root trait variation (2017, background): “As a result, they may display a higher proportion of roots that are absorptive and have a high SRL (Pregitzer et al. 2002; Wells & Eissenstat 2002), as opposed to older roots with more secondary growth and xylem vessels (Hishi 2007).”
Decomposition of the finest root branching orders: linking belowground dynamics to fine-root function and structure (2011, background): “…N and P concentrations, lower lignin concentrations, lower nonstructural carbohydrate concentrations, and higher mycorrhizal colonization levels than do higher-order roots (Peterson et al. 1999, Leuschner et al. 2003, Hishi 2007, Guo et al. 2008a, Valenzuela-Estrada et al. 2008, Fan and Guo 2010).”
