In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Roots are central to the function of natural and agricultural ecosystems by driving plant
acquisition of soil resources and influencing the carbon cycle. Root characteristics like …

Soybean (Glycine max) is a legume species of significant economic and nutritional value.
The yield of soybean continues to increase with the breeding of improved varieties, and this …

Aims Root system is an important regulator for unevenly distributed below-ground resource
acquisition. In a rainfed cropping environment, drought stress (DS) significantly restricts root …

Bioretention systems are one example of green stormwater infrastructure that may mitigate
the hydrologic impact of stormwater runoff. To improve water retention while maintaining …

Root systems of crops play a significant role in agroecosystems. The root system is essential
for water and nutrient uptake, plant stability, symbiosis with microbes, and a good soil …

The belowground world is one of the final frontiers in terrestrial ecology. The tangling of
