Effects of soil structure complexity to root growth of plants with contrasting root architecture

Effects of soil structure complexity to root growth of plants with contrasting root architecture

Soil structure has a huge impact on plant root growth, but it is difficult to isolate from other soil properties in field studies, and generally overlooked in laboratory studies that use sieved and homogenised repacked soil. This study aimed to compare root and shoot growth under controlled soil con...

Zusammenfassung:Soil structure has a huge impact on plant root growth, but it is difficult to isolate from other soil properties in field studies, and generally overlooked in laboratory studies that use sieved and homogenised repacked soil. This study aimed to compare root and shoot growth under controlled soil conditions where only soil structure varied. Soil treatments used soil sieved to
