The Economics Spectrum Drives Root Trait Strategies in Mediterranean Vegetation

The Economics Spectrum Drives Root Trait Strategies in Mediterranean Vegetation

Extensive research efforts are devoted to understand fine root trait variation and to confirm the existence of a belowground root economics spectrum (RES) from acquisitive to conservative root strategies that is analogous to the leaf economics spectrum (LES). The economics spectrum implies a trade-o...
