Trophic dynamics in the fine-root based food web: integrating resource heterogeneity, root herbivores, and root foraging
Resources in the soil are heterogeneously distributed. We know that plant species differ in their root responses to nutrient patches and that these differences in foraging can influence plant competition. However, most studies of root-resource interactions overlook the potential top-down influence...
