Greater root phosphatase activity in nitrogen‐fixing rhizobial but not actinorhizal plants with declining phosphorus availability (2017, methodology): “Annual rainfall (1968–2013) is 538 mm, and ~80% of the rainfall occurs between May and September; mean annual maximum temperature (1970–2013) is 25 °C, with the warmest mean monthly maximum temperature in February (31 °C), and the coolest in July (20 °C); mean annual minimum temperature (1970–2013) ”
From Elements to Function: Toward Unifying Ecological Stoichiometry and Trait-Based Ecology (2017, background): “Comparable nutrient-acquisition strategies exist in terrestrial systems, and nutrient availability strongly influences interspecific plant interactions and community composition (Zemunik et al., 2015).”
Phosphorus Acquisition and Utilization in Plants. (2021, methodology): “…in nonmycorrhizal Cyperaceae, some of which produce dauciform roots (65; 148), Restionaceae and Anarthriaceae, which produce capillaroid roots (91; 101), Haemodoraceae, which produce sand-binding roots (155; 195), and Velloziaceae, some of which produce vellozioid roots (2; 167) ( Figure 1 ).”
Multiple phosphorus acquisition strategies adopted by fine roots in low-fertility soils in Central Amazonia (2019, background): “…associationwithAM fungi and a high diversity of root morphological traits, combined could maximize P uptake (Kong et al. 2014; Li et al. 2017; Zemunik et al. 2015), indicating that in soils with very low P availability, such those in Central Amazon, more than one P-uptake strategy is needed.”
