Future direction of searching for root economics spectrum: focusing on the fibrous roots “absorptive unit”
Abstract As one of the trait‐based approaches, leaf economics spectrum (LES) has led to significant advances in plant ecology; however, hypothetical root economics spectrum (RES) which is even more important than the LES aboveground is still less well understood. By analogy with the LES, hypothetica...
