Do older and younger #roots tell different stories? In #rhizomatous #plants, fine-root #traits do shift with #root age, but not enough to strongly bias species-level estimates. Good news for root ecologists!

#ExFuMo #GoBelowground
Our #GoBelowground #course in #Brazil last week was a fantastic experience! Inspiring students, great discussions, and a wonderful chance to share the hidden half of plants with a new community. Thank you to everyone who made it so special! 🇧🇷🌱

#Clonality may be great for #persistence, but does it come at an #evolutionary #cost? Lineages relying strongly on clonality tend to #diversify more slowly than those reproducing mainly by #seeds
