| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes a study that demonstrates "correlations of root structure with potential growth rate and height among a range of perennial temperate grass species adapted to sites of a wide range of fertility" to show "interspecific patterns of variation in root structure and physiology." Includes background information on the correlations between root structure and physiology. Discusses "the strong negative correlation of tissue density of the axile roots with plant potential growth rate" and hydraulic properties, including "the close correspondance between grass height and cross-sectional area of the axle roots as well as total xylem cross-sectional area and mean xylem vessel cross-sectional area." |
