- Abstract
Keywords: root growth; root traits; fungal community; root architecture; climate change; environmental stress; tree stability; forest dynamics EN root growth root traits fungal community root architecture climate change environmental stress tree stability forest dynamics 1 3 3 02/17/22 20220215 NES 220215 More research on the above-ground compartment of plants has been completed compared to the belowground plant compartment. Nikolova, Geyer, et al. found that subdominant trees on the edges of strip cuttings presented a strong increase of root growth relative to shoot growth that persisted 7-8 years and probably supported the need to enhance wind firmness through improving root anchorage. Finally, Withington et al., in a common garden experiment with different temperate tree species, suggested that annual absorptive fine-root growth response to extreme precipitation or drought events can be exacerbated across years through a "legacy effect." Root growth, root traits, fungal community, climate change, environmental stress, tree stability, root architecture, forest dynamics.
