Alder and cherry had dense branching lateral root systems with high root numbers (high root density and high root order) while redwood and cypress had similar dense root systems, but many fine long branching roots.
High root mean square fluctuating particle velocities are observed at the solids jet boundaries.
Cover crops with coarse root axes and high rooting density enhance soil hydraulic conductivity and effectively reduce surface runoff.
This study also showed that soil zones around NH4 +-depots with high root densities may be sites for effective root colonization by inoculated PGPMs.
For example, Tifton 8 had high root dry weight and high stomatal conductance, WUE and biomass, maintained higher pod yield under drought conditions.
ICGV 98300 maintained high root dry weight under 2/3 AW and ICGV 98324 maintained low SLA and high SCMR under 1/3 AW.
Nevertheless, for plant species that respond to soil nutrient patches by high turnover rates of roots within the patch (high root birth and death rates e.g. Ambrosia artemisiifolia), a net increase in patch root density may not be observed [13].
All the morphotypes in Poshita group showed high positive loadings in PC-1 indicating that component genotypes are high root yielding.
The mixtures C + Clay and C + Bricks showed greater porosity than C + Soil, leading to a high root: shoot biomass ratio in all species tested.
It is also notable that shoot levels of basic alkaloids were similar in all sites, suggesting that high root alkaloid production in mainland plants targets root herbivores.
At seedling stage, high root DM group included MTD777-2, MTD720, and DT22 (>0.045 g).
