Global nitrogen (N) deposition patterns have profoundly affected the production and
morphological structure of fine roots, which in turn changed the distribution of carbon in …

Specific root length (SRL, mg− 1) is probably the most frequently measured morphological
parameter of fine roots. It is believed to characterize economic aspects of the root system …

A review of present modelling approaches for root reinforcement in vegetated steep
hillslopes reveals critical gaps in consideration of plant–soil interactions at various scales of …

Climate warming is predicted to affect temperate forests severely, but the response of fine
roots, key to plant nutrition, water uptake, soil carbon, and nutrient cycling is unclear …

Fine root acclimation to different environmental conditions is crucial for growth and
sustainability of forest trees. Relatively small changes in fine root standing biomass (FRB) …

The tree root–mycorhizosphere plays a key role in resource uptake, but also in the
adaptation of forests to changing environments. The adaptive foraging mechanisms of …

In Europe, peat is the dominant growing medium in nursery production. Undisturbed
peatlands perform very important ecosystem services, while exploited ones are degraded …

Fine root bio-and necromass, net primary production (NPP) of fine roots and its proportion of
the NPP of trees, as well as turnover rate were investigated in a fertile middle-aged Norway …

Variability in short root morphology of the three main tree species of Europe's boreal forest
(Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and silver birch …

We assessed the influence of stand age on fine root biomass and morphology of trees and
understory vegetation in 10-, 30-, 60-and 120-year-old Norway spruce stands growing in …
