Exploring Plant-Soil Interactions and Climate Impact

Explore multiscale image-based modeling of plant-soil interactions in this SIAM Geosciences Webinar led by Tiina Roose from the University of Southampton. Delve into the critical role of soil in supporting crops, providing ecosystem services, and mitigating climate change. Learn about innovative approaches combining structural and chemical imaging methods to examine plant-soil interactions. Discover how experimental data refines modeling capabilities at biophysical scales, and how homogenization and scale-up techniques extend findings from the rhizosphere to broader field contexts. Investigate fundamental questions about the rhizosphere's influence on soil ecosystems, the role of root-soil interface micromorphology in plant nutrient uptake, and how insights from these scales inform predictions about climate change impacts, soil management strategies, and plant breeding on soil fertility.
