What explains the wide variation in root proliferation responses to nutrient patches? (Viewpoint)


Figure 1
From a meta-analysis of published data, Kembel et al. (pp. 1295–1301) conclude that foraging precision is part of a ‘fast’ suite of plant traits related to rapid growth and resource uptake. They find little to support the view that foraging scale and precision are correlated.

Mating in an annual colonizing plant

Plant density can influence mating, particularly in colonizing species that experience wide density variation. Friedman and Barrett (pp. 1303–1309) . . . [Full Text of this Article]
