As above, so below? Comparing above- and below-ground functional traits
Root systems face different pressures and economies than do leaves.
Maize is better when it’s hairy
Root hairs help maize take up phosphorus from the soil.

Warming and elevated CO2 alter the suberin chemistry in roots
The decomposability of fine roots and their potential to contribute to soil carbon (C) is partly regulated by their tissue chemical composition. In a recent Editor’s Choice article published in AoB PLANTS, Suseela et al...

Fine root and ectomycorrhizal colonisation dynamics in a declining oak forest
Oak decline is still a characterised by symptoms of canopy transparency, bark cracks and reduced root biomass. Decline causes losses of fine root length, and a moderate recovery can be achieved by thinning, allowing...

DNA analysis of soil extracts can be used to investigate fine root depth distribution of trees
Knowledge of a tree species’ or cultivar’s fine root distribution is important. However, the time and resource requirements of established soil core based methods where live from dead root determination is required, act...
