Exploitation of neighbouring subsoil for nutrient acquisition under annual-perennial strip intercropping systems

This study shows that deep-rooted perennials intercropped with annuals access nutrients at deeper soil layers, enhancing resource complementarity.

Dynamics of deep water and N uptake under varied N and water supply

This study evaluates how reduced nitrogen and water supply affects deep nitrogen and water uptake in winter oilseed rape, finding that nitrogen supply primarily influences deep nitrogen uptake efficiency.

Digging roots is easier with AI

This study demonstrates that using CNN-based software like RootPainter can significantly reduce time and effort in root quantification by accurately analyzing root images with and without debris.

RootPainter: Deep Learning Segmentation of Biological Images with Corrective Annotation

RootPainter is a software tool for training deep neural networks in biological image analysis, tested on plant root datasets for segmentation tasks.

Optimizing root measurements in rhizotrons

This study optimizes root measurement methods in rhizotrons by evaluating grid patterns and depth measurement techniques to reduce variability and improve efficiency.

The effect of drought and intercropping on chicory nutrient uptake from below 2 m studied in a multiple tracer setup

The paper tests if chicory takes up nutrients from depths below 2 m and whether drought or competition affects this uptake, finding no compensatory uptake during drought but some in intercropped plants.

Chicory demonstrates substantial water uptake from below 2 m, but still did not escape topsoil drought

This study shows chicory roots can reach 3 m depth and uptake water from below 2 m, but drought and intercropping do not increase deep water uptake.
