competition occurring when root competition … U shows how uptake is affected by competition, by …

… function in these systems is limited by greater biotic stress leading to root loss, and
greater competition with weeds and polyculture taxa. Resource degradation, growing human …

… of competition among roots of the same plant (‘inter-root competition’). Inter-root competition
is an important component of the nutrient acquisition efficiency of root systems (Nielsen et al.…

… wild plants subject to competition. Water left in the soil by reduced root growth would be
subject to loss to competitors. We might assume that when competition is limited to monogenetic …

… systems that are less spatially dispersed than maize, and may have inherently more intraplant
root competition for mobile resources. This factor may make dispersion of lateral branches …

… In order to assess the impact of root hairs on plant competition in contrasting soil environments,
we evaluated competition between wildtype A. thaliana plants and single gene mutants …

… In order to quantify root competition, we calculated the percentage overlap of the phosphorus
depletion zones, defined as any soil domain in which the phosphorus concentration is …
