Combined Soil Physical Stress of Soil Drying, Anaerobiosis and Mechanical Impedance to Seedling Root Growth of Four Crop Species

Soil compaction often creates combined physical stresses of drought, anaerobiosis, and mechanical impedance in field soil. This paper aims to analyze the effect of combined and independent soil physical stresses on crop root growth to find out the species-specific response to the physical stresses,...
