Consequences of mixing Acacia mangium and Eucalyptus grandis trees on soil exploration by fine-roots down to a depth of 17 m
(Springer, 2018-03-01)
Fine-root functioning is a major driver of plant growth and strongly influences the global carbon cycle. While fine-root over-yielding has been shown in the upper soil layers of mixed-species forests relative to monospecific ...
Physiognomic changes in response to herbivory increase carbon allocation to roots in a temperate grassland of central Argentina
(Springer, 2019-08)
In most temperate grasslands, cattle grazing can promote physiognomic changes on plant communities, as well as changes in species growth patterns. Through these changes in vegetation, cattle grazing can generate changes ...
Fine root isotropy in Eucalyptus grandis plantations. Towards the prediction of root length densities from root counts on trench walls
(Springer, 2010-09-01)
The objectives of the study were to assess changes in fine root anisotropy and specific root lengths throughout the development of Eucalyptus grandis ( W. Hill ex Maiden) plantations and to establish a predictive model of ...

Tamm Review: Deep fine roots in forest ecosystems: Why dig deeper?
(2020-06-15)
While the number of studies dealing with fine root dynamics in deep soils layers (depth > 1 m) has increased sharply recently, the phenology, the morphology, the anatomy and the role of deep fine roots are still poorly ...
Are fine roots of both shrubs and perennial grasses able to occupy the upper soil layer? A case study in the arid Patagonian Monte with non-seasonal precipitation
(Springer, 2007-09)
We tested whether both shrubs and grasses are able to develop similar active fine-root systems in the upper soil layer of the arid Patagonian Monte ecosystem with non-seasonal precipitation. We selected in the field shrub ...
Dynamics of soil exploration by fine roots down to a depth of 10 m throughout the entire rotation in Eucalyptus grandis plantations
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2013-07-09)
Although highly weathered soils cover considerable areas in tropical regions, little is known about exploration by roots in deep soil layers. Intensively managed Eucalyptus plantations are simple forest ecosystems that can ...
Contrasting phenology of Eucalyptus grandis fine roots in upper and very deep soil layers in Brazil
(2017-12-01)
Background and aims: While the role of deep roots in major ecosystem services has been shown for tropical forests, there have been few direct measurements of fine root dynamics at depths of more than 2 m. The factors ...
Root and shoot interactions in a tropical integrated crop–livestock–forest system
(2020-05-01)
Integrated crop–livestock–forest systems (ICLFS) have potential advantages compared to monoculture, but most studies quantifying plant biomass in integrated production systems, have quantified only the aboveground component ...
