The Effects of Soil Bulk Density on the Morphology and Anchorage Mechanics of the Root Systems of Sunflower and Maize

The effects of soil bulk density and hence strength on two contrasting species of herbaceous annuals, the dicot sunflower (Helianthus annuusL.) and the monocot maize (Zea maysL.), were investigated by comparing the morphology and mechanics of field-grown plants in soil with a low and high bulk densi...
