Root depthThe depth at which plants are able to grow roots has important implications for the whole ecosystem hydrological balance, as well as for carbon and nutrient cycling. Here we summarize what we know about the maximum rooting depth of species belonging to the major terrestrial biomes. We...
). Plant density, as well as channel width and depth relative to plant stem diameter and rooting depth13,15,61,62,63, have been shown to influence channel dynamics. In sparsely vegetated landscapes, shrubby arborescent, drought-resilient plants will encroach into the moister and nutrient-rich ...

This is possible because water tables in our study area are within the rooting depth of most species and plants appear to be well adapted to shallow DTW variations. Copyright 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.doi:10.1002/eco.196R. Mata-González...
Third, in most of the physical models, vegetation rooting depth (or soil layers) needs to be defined. However, in most cases it is difficult to know where the roots are, especially in deep rooting forests. More importantly, though the minimalist stochastic model does not need detailed soil ...
Additionally, nutrient enrichment can impact vegetation composition and corresponding functional trait expression by favouring the growth of nitrophilous species, reducing vegetation rooting depth, or reducing the production of finer roots, which all lower the soil stabilizing strength of the vegetation (...
