Abstract

There are numerous environmental factors that can influence the growth and function of plant root systems. The impact of some of the major soil-related factors such as soil temperature, soil water, soil air, soil strength, and soil nutrient supply on the development of roots is reviewed. Emphasis has been placed on the interaction of these factors with each other and with the genetic diversity inherent in plant roots in determining the impact of the soil environment on root growth and ultimately on plant productivity.
