1 SESSION TOPICS ADRESSING ADVANCES IN ROOT RESEARCH

 

1.1 Roots and soil structure – mutual feedbacks and their role in maintaining and restoring soil functions

1.2 Roots and carbon – from communication to carbon storage in soils

1.3 Roots and water – efficient utilisation of a scarce and fluctuating resource

1.4 Roots and microbiome – networking for soil health and plant welfare

1.5 Root plasticity – sensing the environment for survival and growth

1.6 Rhizosphere spatiotemporal organisation

 

2 SESSION TOPICS ADRESSING METHODOLOGICAL CHALLENGES

 

2.1 Experiments across scales – from gel plates to the field

2.2 Modelling across scales - integrating plant and soil

2.3 Measuring root traits in the field – how far do we get with current methods tool box

2.4 A holistic view on root systems - integrating the data from roots, root biota, and soils

2.5 Towards a global understanding and map of root distribution
