Enhancing understanding and quantification of soil-root growth interactions [electronic resource] / Dennis Timlin and Laj R. Ahuja, editors.

Research progress in soil-root growth interactions has been slow due to the relative inaccessibility of roots in their natural environment and because root research cuts across the boundaries of soil science, ecology, crop science, and plant physiology, among others. This book takes on this challeng...
