Plant diversity and root traits benefit physical properties key to soil function in grasslands
Plant diversity loss impairs ecosystem functioning, including important effects on soil. Most
studies that have explored plant diversity effects belowground, however, have largely …

Intra‐and inter‐specific variation in root mechanical traits for twelve herbaceous plants and their link with the root economics space
Plant root traits are diverse and variable, and the way in which they interact has
consequences for fundamental functions such as anchorage, or services such as soil …

Fine root lignin content is well predictable with near-infrared spectroscopy
Root lignin is a key driver of root decomposition, which in turn is a fundamental component
of the terrestrial carbon cycle and increasingly in the focus of ecologists and global climate …
