New soil test could reveal how soil microbes help feed plants - ScienceDaily

A plant's roots do much of their work out of sight, pulling in water and nutrients and holding the plant in place. That makes it hard to see how plants respond when conditions underground change, and how a warming climate affects them. New Dartmouth-led studies look at the strategies plants use below the surface to adapt and survive.

Valuable new insights into how plants perceive their environment and protect themselves from biological threats in soil.
