Tree growth is highly dependent on the absorptive function of fi e roots for water and nutrients. Fine roots also play a major role in the global carbon (C) cycle, mainly through production, respiration, exudation and decomposition processes. Improving our understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics of fi e roots down to the root front is an important issue to identify more sustainable s…
Climate changes have caused alterations in temperature and in precipitation regimes around the world. This increases the probability of exceptional drought periods, which may result in tree mortality over large areas. Therefore, it is necessary to improve our knowledge about the processes that explain the tree behaviour under extreme drought. This work aims to assess the maximum distance …
The dynamics of roots in very deep soil layers has been little studied for tree species. This issue may be important for breeding programs since very deep roots can contribute to explain the different survival rates between clones in very deep oxisols during exceptionally dry periods. The knowledge of the distribution of roots in soil can also influence fertilizer applications in order to…
Root systems play key roles in plant functioning and strongly influence ecosystem services. Many studies show a high plasticity of plant roots to soil environment, both morphologically and functionally, in order to take up soil resources. However, structure-function relationships remain poorly understood for tree root systems. Understanding how fine root architecture can be adjusted in eu…
Tropical forests strongly influence the concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Silvicultural practices in planted forests influence the fluxes of this greenhouse gas and the major factors driving greenhouse gas production in forest soils (root density, substrate supply, temperature, water content, microbial community, &) change with soil depth. As previously described i…
