Pyrola japonica, a member of the family Ericaceae, is a mixotroph that grows on forest floors and obtains carbon (C) from both its photosynthesis and its mycorrhizal fungi. Its mycorrhizal community is dominated by Russulaceae. However, the mechanism of its C acquisition and its flexibility are not well understood. Our aim was to assess the impact of disturbance of the mycorrhizal fungal communities on C acquisition by P. japonica. We repeatedly applied a fungicide (Benomyl) to soils around P. japonica plants in a broad-leaved forest of central Japan, in order to disturb fungal associates near roots. After fungicide treatment, P. japonica roots were collected and subjected to barcoding by next-generation sequencing, focusing on the ITS2 region. The rate of mycorrhizal formation and α-diversity did not significantly change upon fungicide treatments. Irrespective of the treatments, Russulaceae represented more than 80% of the taxa. Leaves and seeds of the plants were analysed for 13C stable isotope ratios that reflect fungal C gain. Leaf and seed δ13C values with the fungicide treatment were significantly lower than those with the other treatments. Thus the fungicide did not affect mycorrhizal communities in the roots, but disturbed mycorrhizal fungal pathways via extraradical hyphae, and resulted in a more photosynthetic behaviour of P. japonica for leaves and seeds.

CATENA Vol. 238 2024.2

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Catena

After disturbance sprouts emerge from the ground, generating multi-stemmed plants as they grow, which represents a means of rapidly recovering above ground biomass. We hypothesised that the above- and below ground characteristics would differ depending on the number of stems in individual shrubs, which is likely to compensate for the slope stability of soil reinforcement by plant roots in forests. We focused on the dominant shrub species of abandoned secondary forests, Eurya japonica, and conducted an excavation of the entire root system. The aims of this study were to (i) determine the root system architecture of single- and multi-stemmed E. japonica, (ii) determine whether there were differences in the slope stability by soil reinforcement of roots between the single- and the multi-stemmed plants, and (iii) provide recommendations based on the study finding on how single- and multi-stemmed plants generated during the disturbance should be managed to improve the slope stability. Our results showed that an increase in the total basal stem area at 0.1 m above ground level (BA0.1) increased the above- (MA) and the below ground biomass (MB) with high fitting linear regression, regardless of whether the plants were single- or multi-stemmed. In contrast, the spread of roots, as indicated by the maximum lateral root spread (Rdis) and maximum rooting depth (Rdep), was related to the maximum stem diameter at 0.1 m above ground level (D0.1) with high fitting linear regression among the shoots in the plant. If the above ground shoots and below ground roots are considered as a continuous pipe and the multi-stemmed plants as an assemblage of single-stemmed plants, we can effectively explain the relationship between the total basal stem area or maximum diameter of each stem, and the below ground biomass, or the spread of the roots. There is less space available below ground than above ground for multi-stemmed trees. This is especially the case around the root stump, where the roots of each stem compete and inhibit growth. This can result in significant lower root–shoot ratios of 0.23 ± 0.04 for multi-stemmed plants compared to 0.33 ± 0.01 for single-stemmed plants. This imbalance suggests that multi-stemmed plants growing on forest slopes are more unstable and are more likely to fall. Soil reinforcement by roots did not significantly differ between single- and multi-stemmed plants. However, the displacement at the maximum soil reinforcement by roots was significantly greater in 83.3 ± 21.7 cm for the multi-stemmed plants than in 40.0 ± 18.2 cm for single-stemmed plants because multi-stemmed plants with competing roots resulted in fewer roots of less than 15 mm in diameter. This allowed the formation of a slip surface on the forest slopes because of the substantial displacement (bundle elongation) of roots during the pullout. Therefore, the resistance of multi-stemmed plants to shallow landslides on forest slopes was lower than that of single-stemmed plants. Traditional forest management, that is, reducing the number of stems of multi-stemmed plants, is effective in increasing sprouting growth and biomass production. It may also be effective in increasing forest slope stability at landscape levels over longer timescales.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the process of Chamaecyparis obtusa (Sieb. & Zucc.) Endl. fine root shedding and the morphological traits of the resulting root litter. We developed a method for direct monthly sampling of root litter from the fine root system in the field. We proposed a field incubation method using centrifuge tubes with glass beads as the medium and throughfall as the nutrient solution, in which an undamaged sample of the fine root system still connected to the tree is inserted. Using this method, we collected root litter from C. obtusa for 12 months after the installation. The monthly amounts of the root litter of from the incubated fine root systems differed significantly among the sampling months. On the other hand, the morphological traits such as the root litter length and diameter of each branch order did not differ significantly among months. The first-order root litter was shorter than the incubated living first-order roots. The first-order roots were shed both at the branching positions and in the middle of first-order roots. We concluded that fine root litter with similar morphology is shed every month. Assessment of the fine root litter traits by using the new direct sampling method and the new soil ecological indicator “initial tissue C inputs” from fine roots into forest soil will improve our understanding of forest belowground carbon cycling and its indexation.

Tree resistance to uprooting can be estimated as the critical turning moment in tree-pulling experiments. The depth at the center point of rotation (Dcp) in tree-pulling experiments is measured as an indicator of below-ground traits and is related to this critical turning moment. However, few researchers have investigated the relationship between the Dcp and maximum root depth. Our objective in this study was to clarify whether the Dcp in tree-pulling experiments can be estimated as the maximum root depth of Pinus thunbergii Parl. in sandy soils. We also estimated which position of displacement of the center of rotation (Cp) can be applied as the Dcp. We conducted tree-pulling experiments, and compared the Dcp obtained from images with the measured maximum root depth. We found significant positive correlations between the Dcp and maximum root depth. The Cp displacement concentrated immediately below the stem when the maximum critical turning moment was reached. This position should be measured as the Dcp, which is related to the maximum root depth. We found that the Dcp can serve as a parameter, preventing the need for uprooting, when tree-pulling experiments are performed to obtain an important below-ground trait for understanding the critical turning moment.

JOURNAL OF FOREST RESEARCH 2022.8

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Journal of Forest Research

Archaea live in extreme environments and have been found in non-extreme environments in recent years. Although most studies have focused on the nitrification function of archaea in forest soils, few studies have focused on how archaea in rhizospheres are involved in nutrient absorption. To elucidate the archaeal community pattern inhabiting the fine roots of trees, we examined the taxonomic identity and community structure of archaea in Japanese cedars (Cryptomeria japonica). Root samples were collected from six C. japonica plantations in central Japan. DNA was separately extracted from the first- and third-order roots, and archaeal taxa were determined by the cloning method focusing on 16S rDNA. As a result, 90% of the sequences were classified as in the phylum Thaumarchaeota, with 1.1b and 1.1c groups in the phylum accounting for 65% and 25%, respectively. Archaeal community structures were significantly correlated with soil pH, but neither the root orders nor the plantation sites showed significant clustering. These results suggest that Thaumarchaeota is the dominant archaeal group in the fine roots of C. japonica, and community structures are affected by a proximate chemical factor of soil acidity.

Purpose: Clarification of root architecture is important for understanding tree root functions. 3D laser scanning reconstructs the 3D structure of root system with high accuracy, but the devices are large and expensive. The Structure-from-Motion with multi-view stereo-photogrammetry (SfM-MVS) method reconstructs the 3D structure of an object from multiple images. This method is suitable for field research because it acquires the 3D data with a commercially available digital camera. Our aim in this study was to test the applicability of the SfM-MVS method for morphological measurement of tree root systems. Methods: The 3D root system model was created using a dummy and three black pine (Pinus thunbergii) root systems. Image data were collected from the root systems using a camera and reconstructed using the free software, VisualSfM and MeshLab. We evaluated the accuracy of morphological data estimated from the 3D models by comparing them with real data obtained from manual measurements of the root systems. Results: The 3D reconstructions of the dummy and black pine root systems were successful. The root mean squared error values for the morphological features in the pine root systems ranged from 4 to 24%, which was sufficiently accurate for a successful 3D model. However, the RMSE values were larger than that of dummy root, ranging from 2 to 9%. Conclusion: The SfM-MVS method is a new tool, based on non-specialised equipment and free software, to obtain the 3D structure of tree root systems. The morphological features of it can be successfully measured from the reconstructed models.

Aim Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been used for estimating root biomass, estimating pull-out resistance force of roots, and reconstructing root system architecture. Although GPR can estimate the diameter of a single root, it has not yet been verified whether it can successfully estimate the diameters of adjacent roots or whether rock fragments occurring in the soil matrix can be misidentified as roots. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the visual properties of GPR images of root bundles and rock fragments, and (2) clarify whether they have the potential to create non-negligible errors in GPR surveys. Methods Root bundle samples buried in a sandy soil bed were scanned using 900 MHz and 1500 MHz antennas. Sole roots of Cryptomeria japonica and rock fragments in the bed were also scanned. Results A bundle of root formed one hyperbola with an apex in the radar profile, like a sole root. However, the contrast of the hyperbolas was weak and GPR indices relating to diameter were reduced compared to those of the comparably sized sole root. Stones did not form clear images, but boulders were faintly visible with non-negligible GPR indices. Conclusions For evaluation of root biomass, adjacent roots had the potential to lead to significant errors. Similarly, in reconstructions of root system architecture, adjacent roots might lead to incorrect modelling of root point connections, because of incorrect diameters. For pull-out resistance force, adjacent roots could lead to only underestimation, i.e., safe-side error. Misidentification of rock fragments as roots depends on their sizes.

Aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are intimately associated with fine roots and are involved in nutrient acquisition. However, little information is available on the links between roots of individual orders and fungus colonization and community structure. Our aim was to elucidate AM fungal communities in the fine root systems of the temperate coniferous tree species, Cryptomeria japonica (Cupressaceae). Methods We characterized the morphological traits of AM fungi microscopically and determined the community structure of AM fungi using metabarcoding with an Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) focusing on lower-order roots from first to third order roots. Results Paris-type and Arum-type AM morphologies were both generally more prevalent on first-order roots than on second- or third-order roots, but the colonization rates by the Paris type were higher than those by the Arum type. We found a total of 48 fungal operational taxonomic units dominated by Glomeraceae, and all the AM taxa detected on third order roots were also found on first and/or second order roots. In the case of the second and third orders, AM fungal communities were affected by soil conditions: electrical conductivity, pH, and N concentration. Conclusion These results suggest that the abundance and species richness of AM fungi vary among lower root order systems, and that the AM community is sensitive to soil conditions and turns over as roots age.
