Very excited for this to come out just after presenting it at #AGU25. We show how fine root presence reveals deep root-regolith interactions more accurately than biomass, using root abundance data from 75 soil pits in many ecosystem types. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Contrasting Depth Dependencies of Plant Root Presence and Mass Across Biomes Underscore Prolific Root‐Regolith Interactions Fine and coarse root presence or absence measurements in 75 deep soil profiles open an illuminating way to characterize root distributions Root presence depth distributions contrast with root mas... https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2025AV002072
