Well I don't quite agree.
The second article says that

Quote:
Additionally, plants were pruned to remove 0, 25, or
50% of the root system based on root length.

And in the conclusion :

Quote:
Plants receiving fertilizer at the recommended rate of14g/container had greaterroot
regeneration compared to plants receiving no fertilizer or
double the recommended rate
so I think it answered at least part of the question : there is no need to change the level of fertilizer after pruning roots.
