Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can affect the water balance of both amply watered
and droughted host plants. This review summarizes these effects and possible causal …

Citrus is one of the most widely cultivated fruit crops, whose rhizosphere inhabits a class of
beneficial fungi, popularly known as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Different species of …

Drought affects the carbon (C) source and sink activities of plant organs, with potential
consequences for belowground C allocation, a key process of the terrestrial C cycle. The …

There is an extremely limited understanding of how plants of different potential growth rate
vary in root traits, especially in woody species. We contrasted fine root morphology …

Redistribution of water within plants could mitigate drought stress of roots in zones of low
soil moisture. Plant internal redistribution of water from regions of high soil moisture to roots …

As a key component of the carbon cycle, soil CO 2 efflux (SCE) is being increasingly studied
to improve our mechanistic understanding of this important carbon flux. Predicting …

土壤呼吸作用作为陆地生态系统碳循环的重要组成部分, 是当前碳循环研究中的热点问题.
对于土壤呼吸作用主要组成部分土壤微生物呼吸作用和根系呼吸作用影响因子的研究 …

Linkages between plant growth rate and root responses to soil moisture heterogeneity were
investigated.• Root dynamics were studied using genetically identical shoots (Vitis vinifera …

Like other plant organs, roots have a life history in which they pass from birth to death. The
size and population structure of the root system is determined by the birth rate and death …

In citrus, the majority of fine roots are distributed near the soil surface–a region where
conditions are frequently dry and temperatures fluctuate considerably. To develop a better …
