About the Book

This book addresses root dynamics in the face of a globally changing environment and asks the key questions: do atmospheric and climatic changes alter root production and root longevity? How do the changes impact on the whole plant and its microbial symbiotic partners? And, ultimately, how do these changes alter the ecosystem itself? The ecosystem perspective is especially important - root turnover is a key component of ecosystem metabolism and the capacity of ecosystems to store carbon. It is clear that the prime challenges still concern how to reach and analyze the roots themselves, but where there are gaps in our knowledge, many researchers are finding that the visible half of the plant - the leaves - often provide a good analogy for roots. The reviews and original research reported here provide a comprehensive overview of the subject, and point the way ahead for systematic scientific exploration of this timely and compelling topic.

Table of Contents:
1. Root dynamics and global change: seeking an ecosystem perspective; 2. Global patterns of root turnover for terrestrial ecosystems; 3. Building roots in a changing environment: implications for root longevity; 4. The control of carbon acquisition by roots; 5. Spatial and temporal deployment of crop roots in CO2-enriched environments; 6. Dynamics of root systems in native grasslands: effects of elevated atmospheric CO2; 7. Elevated CO2 and conifer roots: effects on growth, life span and turnover; 8. Responses of tree fine roots to temperature; 9. Effects of altered water regimes on forest root systems; 10. The potential effects of nitrogen deposition on fine-root production in forest ecosystems; 11. Response of root respiration to changes in temperature and its relevance to global warming; 12. Kinetics of nutrient uptake by roots: responses to global change; 13. Assessing root death and root system dynamics in a study of grape canopy pruning; 14. The impact of elevated CO2 and global climate change on arbuscular mycorrhizas: a mycocentric approach; 15. Mycorrhizal fungi have a potential role in soil carbon storage under elevated CO2 and nitrogen deposition; 16. Elevated atmospheric CO2, fine roots and the response of soil microorganisms: a review and hypothesis; 17. The representation of root processes in models addressing the responses of vegetation to global change.
