Rhizosheath formation depends on mucilage concentration and water content
AimsRoot exudates contain polymers that form crosslinks and can create a jelly like substance known as mucilage, which adheres to soil and thus...

Effects of Organic Manure and Biochar-Based Fertilizer Application on Soil Water and Salt Transport in Brackish Water Irrigated Soil Profile
It is uncertain how soil amendments (organic manure and biochar-based fertilizer) affect soil water and salt movement below the root zone under...
-
The effects of wildfire frequency on post-fire soil surface water dynamics
Increasing wildfire frequency in the Mediterranean Basin could affect future plant-soil–water-dynamics. The capacity of soils to retain water is a...

Predawn leaf water potential of grapevines is not necessarily a good proxy for soil moisture
BackgroundIn plant water relations research, predawn leaf water potential (Ψ pd ) is often used as a proxy for soil water potential (Ψ soil ), without...

An arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus alters soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity in a soil texture specific way
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) alter plant water relations and contribute to soil structure. Although soil hydraulic properties depend on soil...

Night-time water relations and gas exchange in cut shoots of five boreal dwarf shrub species: impact of soil water availability
Recent findings suggest that drought may affect plants’ daytime and night-time stomatal regulation differently. However, knowledge of night-time...

Effects of soil water content at freezing, thaw temperature, and snowmelt infiltration on N2O emissions and denitrifier gene and transcript abundance during a single freeze-thaw event
Climate change-related warming and increased precipitation may alter winter snow cover and thawing events, and therefore, may carry significant...
