Above- and below-ground complementarity rather than selection drive tree diversity-productivity relationships in European forests

Xin Jing et al.

Summary: Biodiversity experiments have shown that complementarity, particularly above- and below-ground complementarity, plays a key role in driving the relationship between tree species diversity and wood production in mature forests. The importance of selection was found to be relatively less significant in this relationship. Therefore, considering complementary above- and below-ground traits when selecting tree species is crucial for promoting tree diversity and productivity in European forests.

Spatial mapping of root systems reveals diverse strategies of soil exploration and resource contest in grassland plants

Anu Lepik et al.

Summary: The research found that plant roots exhibit aggregation at fine spatial scales, and under higher competitor density, they adjust their aggregation to improve foraging efficiency. In plant mixtures, extensive root overlap was observed, indicating a lack of territoriality at the whole root system level.
