Tree growth is better explained by absorptive fine root traits than by transport fine root traits

Abstract Although the interest in root traits has increased in recent years, we still have limited knowledge of (i) whether functionally different fine roots—absorptive versus transport roots—have similar trait coordination and (ii) how they help to explain plant performance, such as growth.
