Hydrologic regulation of plant rooting depth (2017, background): “It may be that current field sampling of roots is biased toward moderate climates, and that it may have stopped too soon in seasonal and arid climates (6, 42, 43), missing a vital part of the plant that may be small in biomass but essential for survival and functioning in the absence of rain (4, 5).”
Plant rooting strategies in water‐limited ecosystems (2007, background): “No groundwater table is considered in these simulations, though, when present, it has quite significant effects on plant behavior [e.g., Nepstad et al., 1994; Oliveira et al., 2005].”
