Precrop-treated soil influences wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root system architecture and its response to drought Open
Aims Root system architecture (RSA) plays an important role in the plant’s ability to sustain yield under abiotic stresses such as drought. Preceding crops (precrops) can affect the yield of the proceeding crop, partially by affecting the …

Clear effects on root system architecture of winter wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) from cultivation environment and practices Open
Roots play a pivotal role in the adaption of a plant to its environment, with different root traits adapting the plant to different stresses. The environment affects the Root System Architecture (RSA), but the genetic factors determine to …

Tree diversity enhances predation by birds but not by arthropods across climate gradients Open
Tree diversity can promote both predator abundance and diversity. However, whether this translates into increased predation and top‐down control of herbivores across predator taxonomic groups and contrasting environmental conditions remain…
