Soil-Water-Root Processes: Advances in Tomography and Imaging (SSSA Special Publication)

Rapid advances in tomography and imaging techniques and their successful application in soil and plant science are changing our sciences today. Many more articles using imaging and tomography are being published currently compared to 20 years ago. Soil-Water-Root Processes: Advances in Tomography and Imaging is a unique assemblage of contributions exploring applications of imaging and tomography systems in soil science - it provides an updated collection of X-ray computed tomography, synchrotron microtomography, neutron imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, geophysical imaging tools, and other tomography techniques for evaluating soils and roots. Exciting new procedures and applications have emerged, with the promise to propel forward our understanding of soil plant properties and processes.

''What we see aboveground is only part of the true beauty of plants. The belowground portion, or rhizosphere, is of equal importance and should be marveled at just as much as the aboveground portion....Consisting of 12 chapters written by world renowned researchers who are working at the cutting-edge of this field, this book will serve as a resource for years to come.''
David Lindbo, 2013 SSSA President
