Root system interactions and competition for resources are active areas of research that contribute to our understanding of how roots perceive and react to environmental conditions. Recent research has shown this complex suite of processes can now be observed in a natural environment (i.e. soil) through the use of X-ray microcomputed tomography (μCT), which allows non-destructive analysis of pl...

The main aim of this research was to determine the potential effects different tillage systems (TT: traditional and RT: reduced tillage) on runoff erosion at two locations (Kahramanmaras Tarsus, Southern Turkey) under (i) fallow, (ii) wheat (Triticumaestivum L.), (iii) sainfoin (Onobrychissativa L.) crops. Rainfall simulations with intensity 120 mm h?1 30-min duration, representing a typical ex...
