Impact of amendments on the physical properties of soil under tropical long-term no till conditions (2016)
Journal Article
Carmeis Filho, A. C., Crusciol, C. A. C., Guimarães, T. M., Calonego, J. C., & Mooney, S. J. (2016). Impact of amendments on the physical properties of soil under tropical long-term no till conditions. PLoS ONE, 11(12), Article e0167564. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0167564

Tropical regions have been considered the world's primary agricultural frontier; however, some physico-chemical deficiencies, such as low soil organic matter content, poor soil structure, high erodibility, soil acidity, and aluminum toxicity, have af...

The holistic rhizosphere: integrating zones, processes, and semantics in the soil influenced by roots (2016)
Journal Article
York, L. M., Carminati, A., Mooney, S. J., Ritz, K., & Bennett, M. J. (2016). The holistic rhizosphere: integrating zones, processes, and semantics in the soil influenced by roots. Journal of Experimental Botany, 67(12), 3629-3643. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erw108

Despite often being conceptualized as a thin layer of soil around roots, the rhizosphere is actually a dynamic system of interacting processes. Hiltner originally defined the rhizosphere as the soil influenced by plant roots. However, soil physicists...

Quantification of Aluminum-Induced Changes in Wheat Root Architecture by X-ray Microcomputed Tomography (2016)
Journal Article
Lazarević, B., Sturrock, C., Poljak, M., & Mooney, S. J. (in press). Quantification of Aluminum-Induced Changes in Wheat Root Architecture by X-ray Microcomputed Tomography. Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 47(2), 263-274. https://doi.org/10.1080/00103624.2015.1122800

Root architectural traits are of fundamental importance for plant performance, especially under unfavorable soil conditions. This study examined the effect of aluminum (Al) toxicity in different growing media (nutrient solutions and soil) on root arc...
