Plant rooting depth affects ecosystem resilience to environmental stress such as drought. Deep roots connect deep soil/groundwater to the atmosphere, thus influencing the hydrologic cycle and climate. Deep roots enhance ...

The present article describes a field auger sampling method for row-crop root measurements. In agroecosystems where crops are planted in a specific design (row crops), sampling procedures for root biomass quantification ...

Wheat plants were cultivated in pots with the objective of evaluate the effect of two sulfurrates (+S and -S) on i) shoot growth, S and nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency(NUE) and ii) root growth and architecture ...

Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil. (Yerba Mate) is an important crop for which a decrease in yields associated to unsustainable agricultural practices is well documented. The aim of this study is to investigate the diversity of ...

Paspalum dilatatum occupies different topographic positions in the Flooding Pampa, Argentina. Populations from different positions are subjected to various regimes of flooding and drought, both of which may occur in the ...
