Empowering Vulnerable Regions through Accessible Disaster Mapping: Developing User-Friendly Platforms for Underdeveloped Regions and Non-Specialists

Our study showed significant relationships among root traits indicating an acquisition-conservation tradeoff for thin absorptive roots while no such trait relationships were found for thick absorptive roots. The findings support our hypothesis that root economic strategies differ with increasing root diameter. The contrasting economic strategies between thin and thick absorptive roots, as revealed here, may provide a new perspective on our understanding of the root economics spectrum.
