Body

Roots of plants express phenology significant to competitive relationships, as do aerial parts. The following developmental stages of root phenology are proposed: (1) germination, (2) initial root growth, (3) rapid extension of root-soil contact, (4) dormancy, and (5) death. Examples of root phenological development in seedlings of three grass species are given to demonstrate effects on competition.
