In Situ Visualization and Quantification of Three‐Dimensional Root System Architecture and Growth Using X‐Ray Computed Tomography

Root system architecture and associated root–soil interactions exhibit large changes over time. Nondestructive methods for the quantification of root systems and their temporal development are needed to improve our understanding of root activity in natural soils. X‐ray computed tomography (X‐ray CT)...
