Although rhizodeposition is a major input pathway of organic matter to subsoils, little knowledge exists on C dynamics, particularly stabilization mechanisms, such as soil aggregation, in the rhizosphere of different soil depths. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of natural and elevated root exudation on C allocation and aggregation in the topsoil and subsoil of a mature European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest. We experimentally added model root exudates to soil at two different concentrations using artificial roots and analyzed how these affect SOC, nitrogen, microbial community composition, and size distribution of water-stable aggregates. Based on the experimental data, a mathematical model was developed to describe the spatial distribution of the formation of soil aggregates and their binding strength. Our results demonstrate that greater exudate additions affect the microbial community composition in favor of fungi which promote the formation of macroaggregates. This effect was most pronounced in the C-poor subsoil, where macroaggregation increased by 86% and SOC content by 10%. Our modeling exercise reproduced the observed increase in subsoil SOC at high exudate additions. We conclude that elevated root exudation has the potential to increase biotic macroaggregation and thus the C sink strength in the rhizosphere of forest subsoils."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3389/fenvs.2018.00140"],["dc.identifier.eissn","2296-665X"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/78427"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-354"],["dc.publisher","Frontiers Media S.A."],["dc.relation.eissn","2296-665X"],["dc.rights","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.title","Root Exudates Induce Soil Macroaggregation Facilitated by Fungi in Subsoil"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We investigated the importance of the genetic constitution for the belowground drought response of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), in four populations from regions differing in precipitation (520-970 mm year(-1)). Saplings were grown at ample (10 vol.%; well-watered) or reduced (5 vol.%; drought treatment) soil water content in the Gottingen Rhizolab Facility for two consecutive summers, and the responses of fine root biomass, root morphology, root depth distribution, and fine root production and turnover were investigated by a combined mini-rhizotron and harvest technique approach. In the drought treatment, total root mass per plant was reduced by 30-40% as a result of: (1) a reduction in median fine root lifespan by roughly 50% and hence an increase in fine root turnover; and (2) a 10-fold reduction in relative fine root growth rate (productivity per standing root biomass). The root: shoot ratio did not increase with drought. Although beech plants originating from drier climates tended to reduce their root biomass in response to drought less than those from wetter climates, analyses of variance revealed no significant influence of genotype on root mass, morphology, growth rate or turnover. However, most fine root traits showed marked differences between the well-watered and drought treatments. We conclude that beech saplings respond to summer drought primarily by shortening root lifespan, whereas root system structure and root: shoot carbon partitioning pattern are unaltered. Beech fine root growth and turnover exhibited high phenotypic plasticity, but genotypic variation was of minor importance. In contrast, genotype had a strong influence on leaf and shoot morphogenesis and growth."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/treephys/28.2.297"],["dc.identifier.isi","000253056200014"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18055440"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/86997"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-425"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Heron Publishing"],["dc.relation.eissn","1758-4469"],["dc.relation.issn","0829-318X"],["dc.title","Genotypic variation and phenotypic plasticity in the drought response of fine roots of European beech"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In this study, we investigated the effect of root identity on gas exchange in the model species pea (Pisum sativum L.). Split-root plants were planted so that each pot contained either two roots of the same plant (self) or of two different plants (non-self), and the responses of biomass, photosynthesis, and respiration were measured. The photosynthetic rate was not affected by the identity of the root neighbor. We found a reduction of leaf dark respiration by half, accompanied by an increase in nocturnal root respiration by 29 % in plants neighboring with non-self. The activity of the alternative oxidase (AOX) pathway increased when plants responded to non-self neighbors. The increased activity of AOX in plants responding to non-self indicates carbon imbalances in roots, possibly as a consequence of increased root exudation and communication between individuals. If such an effect occurs more widely, it may change the assumptions made for the quantity of respiration as used in carbon budget models."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00425-013-1910-4"],["dc.identifier.isi","000323421100012"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23779000"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/28990"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","0032-0935"],["dc.title","Increased root oxygen uptake in pea plants responding to non-self neighbors"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

European beech, the most important tree species of Central Europe’s natural forest vegetation, is known to suffer from increased drought intensity at its southern distribution limits, but it is not well known how this species is affected in the center of its distribution range in a sub-oceanic climate. We compared tree-ring chronologies and the climate sensitivity of growth (MS) in 11 mature beech stands along a precipitation gradient (855–576 mm y−1) on two soil types with contrasting water storage capacity (WSC) in northwest Germany to test the hypotheses that recent warming is impairing beech growth also in the center of its distribution below a certain precipitation limit, and stands with low soil WSC are more susceptible. We found a threshold of about 350 mm of mean growing season precipitation below which basal area increment (BAI) showed a consistent decline since the 1970s. The frequency of negative pointer years and MS were highest in low-precipitation stands on sandy soil, but both parameters have increased during the last decades also in the moister stands. The factor with largest impact on BAI was precipitation in June, in combination with high mid-summer temperatures. Contrary to our hypothesis, the edaphic effect on growth dynamics was surprisingly small.

One option for forestry to reduce the risk of failure is to plant genotypes which combine high productivity with drought tolerance. Growth experiments with provenances from different climates indicate that drought exposure can trigger adaptive drought responses in temperate trees, but it is not well known whether and to what extent regional precipitation reduction can increase the drought resistance of a species. We conducted a common garden growth experiment with five European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) populations from a limited region with pronounced precipitation heterogeneity (816–544 mm year−1), where phylogenetically related provenances grew under small to large water deficits. We grew saplings of the five provenances at four soil moisture levels (dry to moist) and measured ∼30 morphological (leaf and root properties, root : shoot ratio), physiological (leaf water status parameters, leaf conductance) and growth-related traits (above- and belowground productivity) with the aim to examine provenance differences in the drought response of morphological and physiological traits and to relate the responsiveness to precipitation at origin. Physiological traits were more strongly influenced by provenance (one-third of the studied traits), while structural traits were primarily affected by water availability in the experiment (two-thirds of the traits). The modulus of leaf tissue elasticity ϵ reached much higher values late in summer in plants from moist origins resulting in more rapid turgor loss and a higher risk of hydraulic failure upon drought. While experimental water shortage affected the majority of morphological and productivity-related traits in the five provenances, most parameters related to leaf water status were insensitive to water shortage. Thus, plant morphology, and root growth in particular, did respond to reduced water availability with higher phenotypic plasticity than did physiology. We conclude that beech provenances exposed to different precipitation regimes have developed some genotypic differences with respect to leaf water status regulation, but these adaptations are associated with only minor adaptation in plant morphology and they do not affect the growth rate of the saplings."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1093/treephys/tpv057"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/15195"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.title","Does reduced precipitation trigger physiological and morphological drought adaptations in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)?
