DOI: 10.1007/s11104-018-3729-z
Abstract: Background and aimsLayered profiles of designed soils may provide long-term benefits for green roofs, provided the vegetation can exploit resources in the different layers. We aimed to quantify Sedum root foraging for water and nutrients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erac358
Abstract: Plants enhance nutrient uptake in heterogeneous nutrient environments through selective root placement. Many studies have documented that plants grow better under heterogeneous than under homogeneous nutrient distribution, but comprehensive syntheses are relatively few. We examined… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23158585
Abstract: Root foraging enables plants to obtain more soil nutrients in a constantly changing nutrient environment. Little is known about the adaptation mechanism of adventitious roots of plants dominated by asexual reproduction (such as tea plants)… read more here.
