Outline of Final Research Achievements

Understanding the differences in fine-root traits among different species is essential to gain a detailed understanding of resource conservation and acquisition strategies of plants. I aimed to explore whether certain root traits are consistent among subsets of species and characterize species together into meaningful community groups. Significant differences were observed in all root traits. I identified clusters of species based on their multidimensional root traits that were consistent with the different phylogenetic microbial association groups. I consider that the advances in root traits combination will make a breakthrough in our ability to differentiate the community groups rather than individual root trait.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は、根系の種の識別を可能とし、種の多様性と生態系機能の関係を評価することに寄与できる群落レベルにおける根系の種ごとの現存量・生産量が評価できるようになれば、根の成長や枯死、種の競争、住み分け、物質循環の環境応答といった現象が細根の種/形質の多様性とあわせて考察できる。このことは、土壌炭素動態のメカニズムの解明やモデル化の精緻化にも繋がり、その波及効果は大きいと期待する。
