A Review of Fine Root Dynamics in Populus Plantations (2006, background): “This lack of functional agreement of FR was demonstrated by Wells and Eissenstat (2001) , who measured marked differences in overwinter survivorship of roots in three diameter classes all under 1 mm. However, until further research confirms the functional significance of smaller root diameter class”
Root production is determined by radiation flux in a temperate grassland community (2004, background): “Roots in shaded plots had a much greater SRL, which in many species would reduce longevity ( Wells & Eissenstat, 2001; Gill et al., 2002; Van der Krift & Berendse, 2002).”
FINE ROOT ARCHITECTURE OF NINE NORTH AMERICAN TREES (2002, background): “Wells and Eissenstat (2001) recently demonstrated marked differences in survivorship among apple (Malus doi~iestica ) roots of different diameters, with smaller diameter roots living shorter life-spans chan larger diameter roots.”
COMPARISONS OF STRUCTURE AND LIFE SPAN IN ROOTS AND LEAVES AMONG TEMPERATE TREES (2006, methodology): “A root system represents numerous levels of branching that is rarely characterized with respect to its diverse functions; likely only the finest root orders are similar to leaves in terms of resource acquisition and being ephemeral (Wells and Eissenstat 2001, Pregitzer et al. 2002).”
The ecology of soil decomposition (2003, background): “In some ecosystems, such as forests and prairies, the predominant flow of carbon into the soil is from roots, particularly fine roots <2 mm in diameter (Coleman, 1976; Fogel, 1985; Fahey and Hughes, 1994; Wells and Eissenstat, 2001).”
Decomposition of the finest root branching orders: linking belowground dynamics to fine-root function and structure (2011, background): “Where white roots die (Wells and Eissenstat 2001, Anderson et al. 2003), the cycling of C and nutrients is likely to be rapid.”
Use of stored carbon reserves in growth of temperate tree roots and leaf buds: analyses using radiocarbon measurements and modeling (2009, background): “…for C in the roots, because root populations have an age distribution curve different from their transit time distribution curve because younger roots tend to leave the fine root population more rapidly than older roots (Wells & Eissenstat, 2001; Tierney & Fahey, 2002; Trumbore & Gaudinski, 2003).”
