Root architecture can be targeted in breeding programs to develop crops with better capture
of water and nutrients. In rich nations, such crops would reduce production costs and …

Wood-derived monolithic carbon materials have gained great interest and attention owing to
their unique porous structure, abundant longitudinally aligned microchannels, excellent …

Constructed wetland (CW) represents an efficient eco-technological conglomerate
interweaving water security, energy possibility and environmental protection. In the context …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

To face future challenges in crop production dictated by global climate changes, breeders
and plant researchers collaborate to develop productive crops that are able to withstand a …

Tropical forest function is of global significance to climate change responses, and critically
determined by water availability patterns. Groundwater is tightly related to soil water through …

Accurate information about the quantity, quality and spatiotemporal dynamics of metabolite
release from plant roots is vital to understanding the functional significance of root exudates …

Unanticipated flooding challenges plant growth and fitness in natural and agricultural
ecosystems. Here we describe mechanisms of developmental plasticity and metabolic …

Greater exploitation of subsoil resources by annual crops would afford multiple benefits,
including greater water and N acquisition in most agroecosystems, and greater …

In a persistently changing environment, plants are constantly challenged by various abiotic
stresses such as salinity, drought, temperature extremes, heavy metal toxicity, high-light …
