The interactions between roots and mycorrhizal fungi are critical for our understanding of the
multidimensional root economics space. Our knowledge on their relationships comes mainly …

The root economics space (RES) is multidimensional and largely shaped by belowground
biotic and abiotic influences. However, how root–fungal symbioses and edaphic fertility drive …

Fine root traits vary greatly with environmental changes, but the understanding of root trait
variation and its drivers is limited over broad geographical scales, especially for …

Background and aims Coordination between leaf and root traits is crucial to plant
performance and ecosystem functioning, but how leaves and roots coordinate in …

The anatomical structure of roots determines their function. Coexisting species
complementarily forage nutrients by roots themselves (eg root strategy) and their fungal …

Roots of nearly all plants have symbiotic relationships with mycorrhizal fungi. The root-
mycorhizosphere serves an important role in both nutrient acquisition required for the plant …

Photosynthesis by leaves and acquisition of water and minerals by roots are required for
plant growth, which is a key component of many ecosystem functions. Although the role of …

Plants compete for nutrients using a range of strategies. We investigated nutrient foraging
within nutrient hot‐spots simultaneously available to plant species with diverse root traits …

Locally coexisting tree species of temperate forests often vary widely in the diameter of their
absorptive roots, resulting in contrasting strategies of root foraging within soil nutrient hot …

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi associated with plant roots play important roles in facilitating
plant nutrient uptake. Ectomycorrhizal trees obtain soil nitrogen (N) through the direct root …
