Sentence examples for root occupancy from inspiring English sources

Obviously, species that have fast growth rates and/or are planted at densities that enable root occupancy and canopy closure in the shortest time are intuitively likely to provide protection earliest.

In addition, this section focuses on those growth metrics most commonly used in the literature for modelling the contribution of tree roots (root occupancy) to soil reinforcement and slope stability in general, including canopy closure, where shallow landslides are the most common form of slope failure.

These processes become most effective when full root occupancy (lateral roots of adjacent trees overlap) and canopy closure (canopies of individual trees touch) first occurs, and they improve with increasing tree age and/or planting density (Kelliher, F. M., Marden, M., & Watson, A. J.: Stability of land and tree planting density East Coast, North Island, unpublished).

We define conditioning as the plant species-dependent engendering specific traits such as carbon flow, root exudation, nutrient uptake, root occupancy of soil space, alteration of the soil microbial community etc. that might affect competitive interactions.

These relationships assist in determining when canopy closure or root site occupancy will occur (Phillips et al. 2011) which in turn helps determine when that species might become "effective" in terms of providing an erosion control function.

The increase of N, P, K, Cd, Ni, Pb and Fe in plant parts might be attributed to increasing them in the occupancy root zone from applying sewage effluents, which reflected on their uptake by roots.

For plants, root behavioural changes that alter soil occupancy patterns can influence neighbourhood size and the frequency or intensity of competition for soil resources; issues of fundamental importance to understanding coexistence and community assembly.

Though many of these interactions occur in the soil, our understanding of how plants alter root growth and the patterns of soil occupancy in response to neighbours is limited.

Better information of how plants alter growth patterns and modify patterns of soil occupancy in response to neighbouring roots should advance our understanding of the causes and consequences of competition and coexistence.

By identifying which buildings in a portfolio are having difficulty maintaining target occupancy rates and drilling down to address root causes, landlords and portfolio managers can improve profitability.

Site occupancy equalled 1 when the perimeters of adjacent root systems or tree canopies met.
