Breeding crop plants with deep roots: their role in sustainable carbon, nutrient and water sequestration
DB Kell - Annals of botany, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Background The soil represents a reservoir that contains at least twice as much carbon as
does the atmosphere, yet (apart from 'root crops') mainly just the above-ground plant …
