DOI: 10.1007/s11629-018-5311-9
Abstract: Development of fine roots and formation of symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi represent two strategies for plants to acquire nutrient and water from soil. Here, we elucidated how fine root development and symbolized mycorrhizal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117664
Abstract: Abstract Fine root traits vary under increased nitrogen (N) deposition and decreased precipitation across root orders and species, and these differences reflect plant belowground carbon allocation and survival strategies. We aimed to investigate how fine… read more here.
