There have been major improvements in instrumentation, field survey design and data
inversion techniques for the geoelectrical method over the past 25 years. Multi-electrode …

Map** and monitoring soil spatial variability is particularly problematic for temporally and
spatially dynamic properties such as soil salinity. The tools necessary to address this classic …

Roots assist plants in absorbing water and nutrients from soil. Thus, they are vital to the
survival of nearly all land plants, considering that plants cannot move to seek optimal …

Thorough knowledge of root system functioning is essential to understand the feedback
loops between plants, soil, and climate. In situ characterization of root systems is …

We have studied the effects of partial root-zone drying (PRD) on plant physiological
response, plant-soil water dynamics, yield and fruit quality of young orange trees during the …

Most of the effort of crop breeding has focused on the expression of aboveground traits with
the goals of increasing yield and disease resistance, decreasing height in grains, and …

A better understanding of root–soil interactions and associated processes is essential in
achieving progress in crop breeding and management, prompting the need for high …

Understanding the processes that control mass and energy exchanges between soil, plants
and the atmosphere plays a critical role for understanding the root zone system, but it is also …

Root cohesion (Cv) represents a fundamental parameter for the stability of a tree as well as
for the vegetation contribution to slope stability. Therefore, the finding of information …

Plant roots activity affect the exchanges of mass and energy between the soil and
atmosphere. However, it is challenging to monitor the activity of the root-zone because roots …
