- Intervention effect P. australis root traits were largely unresponsive to fertilization.
- Intervention effect N enrichment lowered the lateral to adventitious root length ratio in S. alterniflora.
- Intervention effect N enrichment raised root N concentrations in S. alterniflora.
- Intervention effect N enrichment lowered root tissue density in S. alterniflora.
- Intervention effect N enrichment increased adventitious root diameter in S. alterniflora.
- Intervention effect N enrichment lowered the living cortex to stele ratio in S. alterniflora.
- Intervention effect N enrichment raised the xylem to root area ratio in S. alterniflora.
- Mechanism Root adjustments increased nutrient uptake and transportation in S. alterniflora.
- Mechanism Root adjustments boosted aboveground productivity under fertile N conditions.
