Do caliche nodules in loessial profiles affect root growth?
Background Caliche nodules, the product of the leaching and deposition of calcium carbonate in the soil, are widely distributed in loessial profiles on the Loess Plateau in China.

Caliche nodules, the product of the leaching and deposition of calcium carbonate in the soil, are widely distributed in loessial profiles on the Loess Plateau in China. Their presence leads to complex interactions between plant roots and the soil.
Aims and Methods
We studied the interactions between caliche-nodule and water content and their effects on the biomass, morphology and vertical distribution of roots of Caragana (
Caragana korshinskii
Kom.) for two years using a soil-column experiment. Four root parameters (biomass, diameter, length density and surface-area density) in various diameter classes were compared and analyzed.
Results
Water and caliche-nodule contents significantly affected root biomass and morphology. Both coarse- and fine-root biomasses were highest at a nodule content of 30%, did not differ significantly from those in fine earth (nodule-free) but were significantly higher than at the other two nodule contents. The nodules affected fine-root biomass when water content was |

The nodules affected fine-root biomass when water content was <60% of field capacity. Higher water content corresponded to higher biomass. Roots become thick and short in loess containing nodules. High contents of nodules (50%) negatively affected root biomass at every depth and caused larger percentage of fine roots to concentrate in the shallower layers.
Conclusion
Our results demonstrate that plants growing in the loess containing caliche nodules show some degree of adaptability in root morphology. High nodule content is adverse to accumulation of root biomass. Caliche nodules should be given more consideration when investigating the dynamics and habits of plant growth on the Loess Plateau.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0032-079X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1573-5036</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s11104-021-05290-4</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Cham: Springer International Publishing</publisher><subject>Adaptability ; Agriculture ; Analysis ; Biomass ; Biomedical and Life Sciences ; Calcium carbonate ; Caliche ; Density ; Ecology ; Field capacity ; Leaching ; Life Sciences ; Loess ; Methods ; Moisture content ; Morphology ; Natural history ; Nodules ; Plant growth ; Plant Physiology ; Plant roots ; Plant Sciences ; Plant-soil relationships ; Regular Article ; Rocks, Sedimentary ; Roots ; Roots (Botany) ; Soil Science & Conservation ; Soils ; Vertical distribution ; Water content</subject><ispartof>Plant and soil, 2022-04, Vol.473 (1-2), p.369-387</ispartof><rights>The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022</rights><rights>COPYRIGHT 2022 Springer</rights><rights>The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c309t-6f29e1ba60ddc0cdd4c6ca13da53972cd47a03e5001c943724b6f7b8e68d877e3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11104-021-05290-4$$EPDF$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/s11104-021-05290-4$$EHTML$$P50$$Gspringer$$H</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27915,27916,41479,42548,51310</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Meixia, Mi</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yupeng, Chen</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Xiaogang, Wu</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yushen, Wang</creatorcontrib><title>Do caliche nodules in loessial profiles affect root growth?</title><title>Plant and soil</title><addtitle>Plant Soil</addtitle><description>Background
