Tree species diversity increases fine root productivity through increased soil volume filling (2013, background): “Similarly, Brassard et al. (2011) showed that greater horizontal soil space filling of fine roots resulting in higher evenness was linked to higher fine root productivity in evenly mixed stands of P.”
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Controls of Fine Root Life Span (2013, background): “The maintenance of high plant growth rates (via comparably high rates of photosynthesis and respiration) in environments abundant in soil nutrients and water is often attributed to high levels of resourcebased competition, since individuals with lower growth rates in these environments risk being ov”
