Plant Growth and Root Morphology Are Affected by Earthworm-Driven (Eisenia sp.) Changes in Soil Chemico-Physical Properties: a Mesocosm Experiment with Broccoli and Faba Bean
Earthworms are “ecosystem engineers” that improve soil water and nutrient content, soil macroporosity, and aeration, and provide suitable habitats...
-
Different fall/winter cover crop root patterns induce contrasting red soil (Ultisols) mechanical resistance through aggregate properties
PurposeRed soil (Ultisol) with high clay content and low aggregation results in high soil mechanical resistance and often suppresses crop root growth...
