Linking root exudation to belowground economic traits for resource acquisition
The concept of a root economics space (RES) is increasingly adopted to explore root trait
variation and belowground resource‐acquisition strategies. Much progress has been made …

[HTML][HTML] Deep-C storage: Biological, chemical and physical strategies to enhance carbon stocks in agricultural subsoils
Due to their substantial volume, subsoils contain more of the total soil carbon (C) pool than
topsoils. Much of this C is thousands of years old, suggesting that subsoils offer …

Microplastics as an emerging threat to plant and soil health in agroecosystems
Abstract Microplastics (MPs,< 5 mm in diameter) have been widely recognized as a critical
environmental issue due to their extensive use and low degradation rate. Based on current …
