Effect of root activity on soil hydraulic properties
As plant roots grow through the soil, the hydraulic properties of the adjacent soil may change and be altered through the release of exudates and mucilage or through the re- arrangement of soil particles. Though these two possible mechanisms have been identified in the literature, the published work...
