Variation of Fine Roots Distribution in Apple (<i>Malus pumila</i> M.)–Crop Intercropping Systems on the Loess Plateau of China

Variation of Fine Roots Distribution in Apple (<i>Malus pumila</i> M.)–Crop Intercropping Systems on the Loess Plateau of China

In arid and semi-arid areas, interspecific below-ground competition is prominent in agroforestry systems. To provide theoretical and technical guidance for the scientific management of apple&#8315;crop intercropping systems, a field study was conducted in the Loess Plateau of China to examine th...
