Tremendous progress has been made on molecular aspects of plant phosphorus (P)
nutrition, often without heeding information provided by soil scientists, ecophysiologists, and …

In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) loading in terrestrial ecosystems has caused
widespread ecosystem‐level phosphorus (P) limitation. In response, plants and soil micro …

The adoption of diverse resource acquisition strategies is critical for plant growth and
species coexistence. Root phosphatase is of particular importance in the acquisition of soil …

In the tropical rainforest of Amazonia, phosphorus (P) is one of the main nutrients controlling
forest dynamics, but its effects on the future of the forest biomass carbon (C) storage under …

Improving root growth is essential for enhancing the capacity of crops to acquire soil
resources but redundant root growth can also limit productivity, especially in rain-fed farming …

Tropical forest root characteristics and resource acquisition strategies are underrepresented
in vegetation and global models, hampering the prediction of forest–climate feedbacks for …

It's well known that the development and distribution of roots could be regulated to obtain
deep soil resource and enhance the grain yield by increasing the depth of fertilization, but …

Soil nutrient availability can strongly affect root traits. In tropical forests, phosphorus (P) is
often considered the main limiting nutrient for plants. However, support for the P paradigm is …

Understanding the morphological response of maize roots in the presence of soybeans in
fields under varied water conditions is vital for identifying maize-dominant intercrop** …
