Rhizosphere: biophysics, biogeochemistry and ecological relevance

TL;DR: This review considers the unique biophysical and biogeochemical properties of the rhizosphere and draws some connections between them, and addresses the various mechanisms by which roots and associated microorganisms alter these major drivers of soil biogeochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of soil water content in the rhizosphere

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used neutron radiography to image water content distributions in soil samples planted with lupins during drying and subsequent rewetting, and derived the distinct, hysteretic and time-dependent water retention curve of the rhizosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water and nutrient translocation by hyphae of Glomus mosseae

TL;DR: Testing the ability of vesicular–arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphae to take up water, phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium in pots with separated compartments found that total shoot contents of phosphate and nitrogen, but not of potassium, were higher in mycor rhizal plants with access to the hyphal compartment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasticity of rhizosphere hydraulic properties as a key for efficient utilization of scarce resources.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dualism in rhizosphere properties is proposed for efficient utilization of scarce resources and drought tolerance, which may be a strategy for plants to control which part of the root system will have a facilitated access to water and which roots will be disconnected from the soil.
