A global Fine-Root Ecology Database to address below-ground challenges in plant ecology

Summary Variation and tradeoffs within and among plant traits are increasingly being harnessed by empiricists and modelers to understand and predict ecosystem processes under changing environmental conditions. While fine roots play an important role in ecosystem functioning, fine‐root traits are und...
