DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2023.1102491
Abstract: The roots of some coastal and wetland trees grow peculiar vertical protrusions, the function of which remains unclear. Here, using computational simulations based on first-principles fluid and sedimentation dynamics, we argue that the protrusions work… read more here.
