Quantification of Root Growth Patterns From the Soil Perspective via Root Distance Models

Quantification of Root Growth Patterns From the Soil Perspective via Root Distance Models

The rhizosphere, the fraction of soil altered by plant roots, is a dynamic domain that rapidly changes during plant growth. Traditional approaches to quantify root growth patterns are very limited in estimating this transient extent of the rhizosphere. In this paper we advocate the analysis of root...
