Resilience of soils, ie, their ability to maintain functions or recover after disturbance, is
closely linked to the root-soil interface, the soil's power house. However, the limited …

Soil mechanical impedance, hypoxia and water stress are the main soil physical causes of
reduced root growth, but they are rarely included in root growth models. The aim of this work …

Background Modern agricultural practices have exacerbated soil compaction, largely due to
the intensification of operations involving heavier machinery and tillage practices. Soil …

Soil tillage operations had been carried out during the sugarcane planting to improve soil's
physical quality, thus providing proper conditions for sugarcane growth. Long-term field …

The impact of soil compaction on soybean root growth and grain yield can be alleviated by
the presence of biopores and root channels in the soil profile. We hypothesize that cover …

Drought stress has been identified as the major environmental factor limiting soybean
[Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield worldwide. Current breeding efforts in soybean largely focus on …

Integrated crop and livestock systems (ICLS) have the potential to minimize soil degradation,
improve soil health, and maximize food production. Our goal was to evaluate the impact of …

Soil compaction can negatively affect a range of soil hydraulic, biogeochemical and plant
physiological processes. A study conducted in Luján (Argentina) investigated the effect of …

Core Ideas A 3D soil–root model was used to investigate root–biopore interactions. Known
effects of biopores on root growth, ie, increased root length and depth were reproduced …

Machinery traffic combined with soil management processes in the establishment of
sugarcane areas degrades the soil structure, limiting root development and yield of the crop …
