Rhizosphere-Scale Quantification of Hydraulic and Mechanical Properties of Soil Impacted by Root and Seed Exudates
Using rhizosphere-scale physical measurements, we tested the hypothesis that plant exudates gel together soil particles and, on drying, enhance soil water repellency. Barley ( L. cv. Optic) and maize ( L. cv. Freya) root exudates were compared with chia ( L.) seed exudate, a commonly used root exuda...
