Soil Moisture Determines Horizontal and Vertical Root Extension in the Perennial Grass <i>Lolium perenne</i> L. Growing in Karst Soil.

(2) With decreasing water application, the cumulative percentage of root length, root surface area and root biomass in 4 rings from the center out to 12 cm of SW soil showed a trend of W50% > W30% > W100% in SW, however, the cumulative percentage of root biomass in 4 layers from the surface to a depth of 36 cm was not significantly different between different water treatments in DN.

(3) Under all three water treatments, specific root length showed an increase but root length density showed a decreasing trend from the center outward in SW soil or from the surface to bottom in DN soil.
