A Simple Method for Quantitative Estimation of Rhizosphere pH along Root Axes through Visualization

Rhizosphere pH is known to be strongly influenced by nitrogen sources and plant species. We have evaluated whether the exposure of the shoot to light affects the pH changes in the rhizosphere of legumes and cereals in the presence of different forms of nitrogen (ammonium, nitrate or both). The pH ch...
