Sentence examples for of soil space from inspiring English sources

This configuration provided ∼5 × 190 × 250 mm of soil space for plant growth.

Reduced soil N availability and co-opting of soil space by perennial grass roots are potential soil factors involved in suppression.

We define conditioning as the plant species-dependent engendering specific traits such as carbon flow, root exudation, nutrient uptake, root occupancy of soil space, alteration of the soil microbial community etc. that might affect competitive interactions.

If increased root overlap increases the overall exploration of soil space and resource acquisition, then our results suggest that mixtures of population-accession might increase resource acquisition and growth due to increased root overlap.

Greater understanding of the role of biological soil space could be used to breed and select plant materials with traits that are more suppressive to invasive annual grasses.

We accept hypothesis 2 that occupation of biological soil space by established roots of A. cristatum will suppress growth of B. tectorum.

The RNM and the FVM allow the soil resistivity to vary in all directions because of the arbitrary subdivision of the soil space.

Moreover, we expected conditioned soil from the 0 30 cm depth increment would have greater filling of biological soil space with established roots of A. cristatum and therefore be more suppressive to B. tectorum than conditioned soil from lower depths.

The concept of biological soil space implies that physical space is a resource in itself, beyond that of access to nutrients and water (McConnaughay and Bazzaz 1991, 1992).

Trials in which B. tectorum was suppressed the most were characterized by very high shoot/root mass ratios and roots that have less root hair growth relative to non-suppressed counterparts, suggesting co-opting of biological soil space by the perennial grass as another suppressive mechanism.

We believe greater understanding of aspects of suppression via biological soil space can be a fruitful area of research.
