Tradeoffs among phosphorus-acquisition root traits of crop species for agroecological intensification

Plant P acquisition strategies are driven by multiple belowground morphological and physiological traits as well as interactions among these traits. This study aimed to characterize the relationships among traits involved in P acquisition to explore tradeoffs and the main P-acquisition strategies and their mediation by soil type. Ten morphological and physiological traits involved in P acquisition were measured across 13 species grown in...
