Effects of soil–plant-biochar interactions on water retention and slope stability under various rainfall patterns
Due to climate change, extreme rainfalls happen more frequently with different patterns.
Biochar and plant roots can affect soil water retention curve (SWRC) and hence slope …

High soil penetration resistance reduces sugarcane root system development
Although mechanized harvesting of sugarcane can benefit the soil–environment system,
successive harvests can compromise the physical soil quality. Information on the growth and …

Modelling air conductivity function of unsaturated root-permeated soil
Air conductivity as a function of degree of saturation, ka (S w), is a crucial air transport
parameter of soil to evaluate soil aeration. This function controls the level of oxygen stresses …

A novel QTL QTrl.saw-2D.2 associated with the total root length identified by linkage and association analyses in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
X Zheng, X Wen, L Qiao, J Zhao, X Zhang, X Li… - Planta, 2019 - Springer
Main conclusion In wheat, a QTL QTrl. saw-2D. 2 associated with the total root length was
identified, presumably containing genes closely related to root development. A mapping …
