- Intervention effect Higher P concentration increased nutrient content in both species.
- Intervention effect Higher P concentration was accompanied by higher growth in both species.
- Intervention effect In Aristotelia chilensis, higher P concentrations only increased the length and volume of medium roots.
- Intervention effect In Quillaja saponaria, P additions increased the length and volume of fine and medium roots.
- Intervention effect Chemical (copper) root pruning reduced the root-to-shoot ratio of Aristotelia chilensis by 23.1%.
- Intervention effect Chemical (copper) root pruning reduced the root-to-shoot ratio of Quillaja saponaria by 15.7%.
- Intervention effect Fine root architecture of Aristotelia chilensis remained unaffected by root pruning.
- Intervention effect In Quillaja saponaria, fine root length and volume decreased with increasing P concentrations.
- Intervention effect The authors conclude that P fertilization enhances root development more consistently than root pruning.
