Abstract Root hairs play an important role in the acquisition of soil resources by increasing absorptive surface area. Yet, key factors driving variation root hair traits across different species along biogeographic gradients are still poorly quantified, limiting our understanding functional relevance hairs. We measured length, diameter and areal density 75 xerophytic a 1000‐km latitudinal gradient dry valley system. The influences phylogeny, environment fine‐root morpho‐anatomical on were...
Fine roots and absorptive play key roles in acquiring resources throughout soil profiles determining plant functions along environmental gradients. Yet, the geographical pattern of carbon allocation fine roots, particularly their relations with sizes evironment are less understood. We sampled 243 xerophytic shrubs from 63 species distributed latitudinal gradient (23°N to 32°N) dry valleys southwest China synthetically measured biomass fractions organs, especially (1st 3rd root order)....
