Roots are key components of terrestrial ecosystems, yet little is known about how root structure and function vary across a broad range of species, functional groups and ecological gradients in situ.
We assessed how woody and grass root anatomical traits vary among soil depths and different fire frequencies to better understand the water‐use strategies exhibited by these two functional groups...
Biodiversity enhances a variety of ecosystem processes, and yet the underlying mechanisms through which these relationships occur remain a critical knowledge gap. Here, we used the natural abundance of stable isotopes to measure depth of water uptake in five common grassland species (Asclepias tuberosa, Lespedeza capitata, Liatris aspera, Schizachyrium scoparium and Sorghastrum nutans) growing across...
Nocturnal transpiration can impact water balance from the local community to earth‐atmosphere fluxes. However, the dynamics and drivers of nocturnal transpiration among coexisting plant functional groups in herbaceous ecosystems are unknown.
Here, we addressed the following questions: (1) How do nocturnal (Enight) and diurnal (Eday) transpiration vary among coexisting grasses, forbs, and shrubs...
