Among extant tree species, root diameter and two anatomical traits (cortical thickness and number of cortical cell layers) showed significant correlations with divergence time, exhibiting similar trends. stream None of these techniques can locate and measure roots under the pavement. ��'M�&�Vg����]�j���r��?�(�U� The mean annual precipitation is 2651 mm, of which ∼80% occurs between May and October. In order to test the first hypothesis, regression analysis was used to determine the relationships between root diameter, cortical thickness and stele diameter for the first three branch orders among species at each site, and the relationship between cortical thickness and number of cortical cell layers.

Background for main series of apple rootstocks availalble in New Zealand Malling-Merton(MM) Rootstocks and Merton(M) Rootstocks The results showed that root diameter was strongly affected by cortical thickness but less by stele diameter in both tropical and temperate species. These 50 tree species belong to 19 orders and 28 families. The results also suggested that trees tend to decrease their root cortical thickness rather than stele diameter during species radiation.

First, the root cortex accounts for a greater proportion of the cross-sectional area of non-woody roots at the species level, as found by this and other studies (Building roots in a changing environment: implications for root longevityAnatomy of nodal roots in tropical upland and lowland rice varieties Thicker roots generally showed greater cortical thickness and more cortical cell layers than thinner roots.

Changes in cortical thickness explained over 90% of variation in root diameter for the first order, and ∼74–87% for the second and third orders.

A tree’s quest for light—Optimal height and diameter growth under a shading canopy Influences of root diameter, tree age, soil depth and season on fine root survivorship in Patterns of evolution of root morphological traits were likely related to global climate changes during the past 120 million years, as proposed in some studies (e.g., The means, median, minimum, maximum and coefficient of variation (CV) were calculated at branch order level for five root traits, i.e., diameter, SRL, tissue density, cortical thickness and stele diameter, in both tropical and temperate sites.
