Phenotypic plasticity of fine root growth increases plant productivity in pine seedlings
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The plastic response of fine roots to a changing environment is suggested to affect the growth and form of a plant. Here we show that the plasticity of fine root growth may increase plant productivity based on an experiment using you...
