Soils are the most heterogeneous parts of the biosphere, with an extremely high
differentiation of properties and processes within nano-to macroscales. The spatial and …

Imaging techniques based on neutron beams are rapidly develo** and have become
versatile non-destructive analyzing tools in many research fields. Due to their intrinsic …

Liquid invasion into a porous medium is a phenomenon of great importance in both nature
and technology. Despite its enormous importance, there is a surprisingly sparse …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have been presumed to ameliorate crop tolerance to
drought. Here, we review the role of AMF in maintaining water supply to plants from drying …

In the last decade cheaper and faster sequencing methods have resulted in an enormous
increase in genomic data. High throughput genoty**, genoty** by sequencing and …

Background Three–dimensional root architectural models emerged in the late 1980s,
providing an opportunity to conceptualise and investigate that all important part of plants that …

Water flow from soil to plants depends on the properties of the soil next to roots, the
rhizosphere. Although several studies showed that the rhizosphere has different properties …

Neutron imaging can provide two-or three-dimensional, spatially resolved images of the
internal structure of bulk samples that are not accessible by other techniques, making it a …

Technological and methodological progress is essential to improve our understanding of
fundamental processes in natural and engineering sciences. In this paper, we will address …

During the last few decades, a number of advanced experimental techniques have provided
an unprecedented insight into the behaviour of geomaterials. A notable example are the so …
