impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Allelopathy (ie, chemical interaction among species) was originally conceived as inclusive of
positive and negative effects of plants on other plants, and we adopt this view. Most studies …

Slope stability models traditionally use simple indicators of root system structure and
strength when vegetation is included as a factor. However, additional root system traits …

Belowground competition occurs when plants decrease the growth, survival, or fecundity of
neighbors by reducing available soil resources. Competition belowground can be stronger …

When plants are competing, larger individuals often obtain a disproportionate share of the
