The Role of Root Morphology and Pulling Direction in Pullout Resistance of Alfalfa Roots

There is a growing consensus on soil conservation by mechanics of plant root system. In order to further study how root system exerts its mechanical properties during soil reinforcing process and which morphological indicator is suitable for reflecting pullout resistance, in-situ vertical pullout te...
