Abstract
Aims In addition to multiple above- and belowground abiotic factors, root herbivory can be an important determinant of root lifespan. In this study, we investigated the relationship between fine-root soluble phenolic content, a putative measure of chemical defense against herbivory, and explicit factors that have previously been related to fine-root lifespan. We hypothesized that fine-root soluble phenolic content would be positively related to factors previously shown to be correlated with increased root lifespan.
