“…These studies have dealt with a broad array of topics, including root biomass (Bartholomew et al, 1953;Berish, 1983;Cornforth, 1970;Greenland and Kowal, 1960;Huttel, 1975;Jenik, 1971;Lawson et al, 1970;Murphy and Lugo, 1986;Nye and Greenland, 1960;Raich, 1980b;Singh and Singh, 1981;Stark and Spratt, 1977;Srivastava et al, 1987), root surface area (Berish, 1982;Ewel et al, 1982), root growth and development (Jordan and Escalante, 1980;Sanford, 1987;St. John, 1983;, and species-specific root system architecture (Jenik, 1978).…”

“…However, only rarely has the distribution of roots of agricultural crops and trees been studied simultaneously and under similar conditions [e.g. 6]. Furthermore, most often are data on the total root mass given, while it is mainly the fine roots that are responsible for water and nutrient uptake, and therefore of interest in this context.…”

“…For the case of three samples, one core was extracted within the row, another midway between rows, and the third at a random location (cf. Ewel et al 1982), excepting the within-row area and locations already sampled by the first two cores, resulting in 16×23=368 combinations. For all cases with more than three core samples, each additional core was chosen randomly, but avoiding duplication of locations where cores had already been extracted.…”

“…However, the issue concerning the amount of samples and the proper sampling schemes seems to be unresolved: Most typically for maize crops, about one to five soil cores were extracted per plot (e.g., Wiesler and Horst 1994;Sharratt and McWilliams 2005) and taken either (1) within the plant row and midway between rows (Van Noordwijk et al 1985;Kuchenbuch and Barber 1987;Dwyer et al 1996;Sharratt and McWilliams 2005) or (2) within the row and at one single other location between rows (Ball-Coelho et al 1998). Even one single core location with respect to the plant row has been deemed to represent horizontally averaged RLD (e.g., Gajri et al 1994;Oikeh et al 1999), or one core at a random location relative to the plant row was extracted (Ewel et al 1982).…”
