Linking 3D Soil Structure and Plant-Microbe-Soil Carbon Transfer in the Rhizosphere
Plant roots are major transmitters of atmospheric carbon into soil. The rhizosphere, the soil volume around living roots influenced by root activities, represents hotspots for organic carbon (OC) inputs, microbial activity, and carbon turnover. Rhizosphere processes remain poorly understood and the...
