Plant Roots. Their Growth, Activity and Interaction With Soils

Peter J. Gregory9781405119061, 1405119063

The root system is a vital part of the plant and therefore understanding roots and their functioning is key to agricultural, plant and soil scientists.
In Plant Roots Professor Peter Gregory brings together recent developments in techniques and an improved understanding of plant and soil interactions to present a comprehensive look at this important relationship.
