Scope and Contents

Contents

Root penetration into the soil is essential for plants to access water and nutrients, as well as to mechanically support aboveground structures. This requires a combination of healthy plant growth, adequate soil mechanical properties, and compatible plant–soil interactions. Despite the current knowledge of the static rheology driving the interactio...
