Intraspecific variation in fine root morphology of European beech: a root order-based analysis of phenotypic root morphospace.

Abstract excerpt

Fine roots are multifunctional organs that may change function with ageing or root branching events from primarily absorptive to resource transport and storage functions. It is not well understood, how fine root branching patterns and related root functional differentiation along the longitudinal root axis change with soil chemical and physical conditions. We examined the variation in fine root branching patterns...
