Crop acquisition of phosphorus, iron and zinc from soil in cereal/legume intercropping systems: a critical review.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:The co-occurring of evergreen and deciduous angiosperm trees in Asian tropical dry forests on karst substrates suggests the existence of different water-use strategies among species. In this study it is hypothesized that the co-occurring evergreen and deciduous trees differ in stem hydraulic traits ...

The variation in diameter between roots, and along roots, affects root structure and thus the root system's overall foraging performance. However, the effect of diameter variation on root elongation,...
