TL;DR: In this article, experiments were conducted in a growth chamber to determine the plant response to a range of uniform soil densities, and the effect of artificial and naturally-formed biopores.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework for co-reflecting on the accomplishment of transdisciplinary research programs, incorporating the perspectives of funders, researchers and users, and recognize that while they place different emphasis on measures of achievement such as efficiency, rigor and relevance, ultimate accomplishment in terms of translating knowledge into practice requires that the needs and expectations of all three groups are adequately addressed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the resistance in the pathway from soil to leaf using a technique that allows precise and continuous non-destructive measurement of the hydrostatic pressure in the leaf xylem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility and profitability of agroforestry systems designed to manage rising, saline water tables is examined in the southern Australian cropping zone, and the relative merits of segregating, integrating and rotating trees with crops are examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, a funnel-shaped wetting front detector is used to detect free water produced by a micro-irrigation system and the free water is detected electronically and this provides the signal to stop irrigation.
