Effects of 11 Years of CO2 Enrichment on Root Biomass and Spatial Distribution in a Florida Scrub-Oak Ecosystem
… in open-top chambers from 1996-2007. Minirhizotrons and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) were used to measure fine root (< 2 mm diameter) and coarse root (> 5 mm diameter) biomass, respectively. After 11 years of CO<sub>2</sub> enrichment, there was a trend of greater total root biomass …

Root Dynamics, Management Effects and Carbon Sequestration on Invaded and Native Semi-Arid Grasslands
… root production and mortality. The use of minirhizotrons facilitates belowground research, but sample intervals are controversial since long intervals miss roots that grow and die between the samples. Also, root responses to grassland management such as mowing are less well-known than shoot …

Development of a Low-Cost System for Monitoring Root Growth Dynamics
… study because of their below-ground structure. Minirhizotrons – root imaging tools that use transparent tubes installed in the soil to allow for the non-destructive, in situ observation of plant roots – offer a non-invasive solution for capturing root images over time. However, existing products …
