Background and Aims In several disciplines, identifying relevant root traits to characterize the root system architecture of species or genotypes is a crucial step. To address this question, we analysed the inter-specific variations of root architectural traits in two contrasting environments. Methods We sampled 60 species in natura, at two sites, each presenting homogeneous soil conditions. We estimated for each species and site a set of five traits used for the modelling of the root system architecture: extreme tip diameters (D-min and D-max), relative diameter range (Drange). mean inter-branch distance (MD) and dominance slope between the diameters of parent and lateral roots (DIDm). Key Results The five traits presented a highly significant species effect, explaining between 77 and 98 % of the total variation. D-min, D-max and Drange were particularly determined by the species, while D1Dm and IBD exhibited a higher percentage of environmental variations. These traits make it possible to confirm two main axes of variation: 'fineness-density' (defined by D-min and IBD) and 'dominance-heterorhizy' (DIDm and Drange), that together accounted for 84 % of the variations observed. Conclusions We confirmed the interest of these traits in the characterization of the root system architecture in ecology and genetics, and suggest using them to enrich the 'root economic spectrum'.
