The last few decades have seen the rise of Gentle soil Remediation Options (GRO), which
notably include in situ contaminant stabilization (“inactivation”) and plant-based (generally …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Background and aims Growth, morphological traits, and mycorrhizal colonization of fine
roots show high degree of plasticity in response to changes in nutrient availability, causing …

Plants allocate a substantial amount of C belowground for root exudates and for the
construction and adjustment of root morphological and architectural traits. What …

Fine root respiration is a significant component of carbon cycling in forest ecosystems.
Although fine roots differ functionally from coarse roots, these root types have been …

The major part of carbon (C) flow into forest soil consists of continually renewed fine roots
and aboveground litterfall. We studied the belowground C input from the fine root litter of …

An essential carbon (C) pool of forest ecosystems is stored in belowground tree biomass;
however, data about belowground C and nutrient accumulation is scarce. It is crucial to …
