With larger competitive advantage). Therefore, the unit cost of soil resource acquisition was lower in the nutrient-rich patches than in the nutrient-poor ones. Some plants may engage in a game of “Tragedy of the Commons” when competing for soil resources. Thus, a plant in the presence of neighboring roots should preferentially place new roots in unoccupied soil instead of the space containing roots of other species or conspecifics [21,39]. The target plant in the FV treatment had a higher ROLP and biomass for the first root order in the non-vegetated half, as compared with the NF treatment; higher ROLP was observed in the third-order roots of the nonvegetated half with the FV treatment, as compared with the F treatment. Despite the lower soil resource concentration in the non-vegetated half than in the vegetated one, the plant still attempted to increase the nutrient intake in this space. Furthermore, the plants intensified nutrient uptake in the non-vegetated half by altering the RTRS in FNV treatment, as described above. Therefore, plants simultaneously exposed to nutrient heterogeneity and neighboring plants still attempted to increase nutrientAssessing Root Foraging Feature by Architectureuptake in the space free of other plant roots, regardless of the distribution of resources. The non-additive root growth response under the combined nutrients and neighbors environments (i.e. interactions occur) may be due to the interplay between local responses and systemic modifications of the response. When 256373-96-3 web intense competitive signals were received from the connected modules (i.e., roots in the vegetated half) in the FV treatment, the target plants increased their nutrient uptake in the non-vegetated half by investing more first-order root biomass and increasing the ROLP of first-order roots in the non-vegetated half, as compared with the NF treatment, and by increasing the ROLP of the third-order roots in the FV treatment, as compared with the F treatment. Because the fraction of nutrients obtained from the non-vegetated half to nutrients the whole plant desired was increased, the intense Apocynin competition in the vegetated half was alleviated in the FV treatment. In other words, target plants increasing their nutrient uptake in the non-vegetated half helped decrease the fraction of nutrients obtained from the vegetated half. The interaction between roots in the different halves (modules) triggered potential nutrient uptake ability of whole plant root system, with more powerful nutrient uptake observed in both non-vegetated and vegetated halves. Although facilitators of soil resource acquisition were present in the non-vegetated half, as well as higher nutrient concentrations and the absence of interspecific root competition, the target plants in the FNV treatment still increased their nutrient uptake in the vegetated half than in the non-vegetated one, with higher SRLP in the 0?.5 mm fine roots and higher ROLP of the third-order roots. Therefore, competition was strengthened in the vegetated half, based on the interplay between the local responses and systemic controls. This response was necessary for latesuccession trees 23977191 to be established in fully occupied belowground environments to ensure long-term success of the said tree population. Given the similar nutrient concentration between two halves in the NF and F treatments, induction of root growth in nutrient-rich patches was lost and root competition became the most important environmental stim.With larger competitive advantage).
