Roots are plant organs, that typically absorb water and minerals from soil. It is lesser known that roots also secrete metabolites, so-called root exudates, which impact the properties of soil ...

Plant and Soil, Vol. 437, No. 1/2 (April 2019), pp. 473-485 (13 pages) Background and aims Root exudation is an important carbon (C) and energy source for soil microorganisms but quantifying its ...

A comprehensive Hungarian study has revealed that the behavior of pharmaceutical residues in soil does not depend on a single ...

Background and aims Plant growth affects soil moisture, mineral N and organic C availability in soil, all of which influence denitrification. With increasing plant growth, root exudation may stimulate ...

Researchers examined root exudates and their impact on soil carbon storage revealing surprising and counterintuitive results. Ecosystem ecology studies often focus on what's happening to plants above ...

Permafrost thaw can stimulate the release of soil carbon, triggering a positive carbon-climate feedback that may be mediated ...

Ecosystem ecology studies often focus on what’s happening to plants above ground, for instance exploring photosynthesis or water loss in leaves. But what is happening below the ground in plant roots ...
