Root respiration is essential for nutrient acquisition. The respiration rate of absorptive roots
theoretically relates to the economics of carbon‐nutrient exchange, but its empirical role …

Interactions between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in terrestrial ecosystems are
simulated in advanced vegetation models, yet methodologies vary widely, leading to …

Plant nutrient acquisition strategies range along a spectrum from autonomous foraging to
investment in cooperative foraging through mycorrhizal associations. However, in temperate …

The variation in fine root respiration with root age provides insight into root adaptation to
climate warming, but the mechanism is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous and impactful symbionts of most land
plants and can regulate essential ecological processes. AM fungi can increase the cellulose …

The mycorrhizal type affects the structure and functions of tree roots. Therefore, the
mechanical traits of the roots of tree species with different types of mycorrhizal fungi may be …

Aims Root respiration and its temperature sensitivity (Q 10) are key parameters for
understanding the processes and mechanisms of carbon cycling in forest ecosystems …

Root respiration is a critical physiological trait that significantly influences root system
activity. Recent studies have associated root respiration with the economic functioning of …

CO 2 release from forest soils (R s) is a prominent flux in the global carbon cycle. R s is
derived from roots (autotrophic respiration, R a) and microbial (heterotrophic) respiration …

Fine roots play an important role in plant ecological strategies, adaptation to environmental
constraints, and ecosystem functions. Covariation among root traits influence the …
