Rooting Depth Complementarity

Rooting Depth Complementarity is a polyculture design principle that refers to the differential stratification of plant root systems in soil, whereby species exhibit non-overlapping or minimally overlapping vertical root distribution patterns, enabling enhanced resource partitioning and reduced interspecific competition for water and nutrients.
