Coarse Root

The decomposition of fine and coarse roots: their global patterns ...

Coarse root decomposition showed more dependence on climate, especially mean annual temperature (MAT), than did fine roots.

A systematic review of studies on fine and coarse root traits ...

The analysis of fine and coarse roots' functional traits has the potential to reveal the performance of the root system, which is pivotal in tree growth, ...

Coarse root architecture: Neighbourhood and abiotic environmental ...

These findings suggest strategies employed by tropical tree species to both reduce competition with neighbours and make the most of local abiotic conditions.

Coarse root spatial distribution determined using a ground ...

Coarse roots play a critical role in forest ecosystems and both abiotic and biotic factors affect their spatial distribution.

Coarse root biomass and architecture of hybrid aspen 'Crandon ...

After the third growing season, subsamples of roots were collected from another subset of trees and showed coarse root architecture variables to be strongly ...

New Method for Estimating Coarse Root Production in Forest ...

Table 2. Open in new tab. Validation for models of different root diameter classes and mixed diameter (all root segments combined) ...

Overlooking what is underground: Root:shoot ratios and coarse root ...

We synthesized data on root:shoot ratios across tropical forests. Root:shoot ratios decreased with annual precipitation and increased with stand age.

Quantifying the coarse-root biomass of intensively managed loblolly ...

Most of the carbon accumulation during a forest rotation is in plant biomass and the forest floor. Most of the belowground biomass in older loblolly pine (Pinus ...

"Coarse Root Biomass and Architecture: Applications of Ground ...

The effectiveness of ground penetrating radar (GPR) to identify and quantify coarse roots was tested in a mixed-oak forest in Southeastern Virginia using ...

(PDF) The decomposition of fine and coarse roots: Their global ...

PDF | Fine root decomposition represents a large carbon (C) cost to plants, and serves as a potential soil C source, ...

Estimation of Coarse Root System Diameter Based on Ground ...

A new method for the estimation of the diameter of coarse roots using GPR with 900 MHz frequency was proposed in this paper.

Increased recovery in coarse‐root secondary growth improves ...

In this study, we use Juniperus thurifera tree-ring chronologies in coarse roots and stems to assess biomass allometry and tree resilience to ...

Coarse and fine root plants affect pore size distributions differently

Root systems differing in axes morphology induced distinctive pore dynamics. Scaling between these effective hydraulic impacts and processes at the ...

A sonic root detector for revealing tree coarse root distribution - Nature

The Root Detector was able to map the coarse roots of the olive tree in the soil environment, but only under certain conditions. First, root ...

Decomposition and nutrient dynamics of stumps and coarse roots of ...

We described the stock and decomposition dynamics of stumps and coarse roots on Eucalyptus plantations, as well as the nutrient loss rate associated with them.

Quantifying the coarse-root biomass of intensively managed loblolly ...

Abstract. Most of the carbon accumulation during a forest rotation is in plant biomass and the forest floor. Most of the belowground biomass in older loblolly ...

Fine root dynamics, coarse root biomass, root distribution, and soil ...

We conducted this study to compare root distributions and dynamics, and total soil respiration among six sites comprising an agricultural buffer system.

Increased recovery in coarse‐root secondary growth improves ...

Both mature patches and expanding areas of Juniperus thurifera forests are vulnerable to climate change but for different reasons.

Coarse roots prevent declines in whole-tree non-structural ...

Our results suggest that the responses of NSC in coarse roots can differ from stems, and indicate a prominent role of coarse roots in mitigating drought- ...

Coarse root diameter size class distribution a as a proportion of total...

... Coarse roots (diameter ≥ 5 mm) are essential for a wide variety of plant processes, including anchoring and supporting the plant, absorbing and transporting ...
