Subject: roots...


Hello...
I am in the process of doing a literature review on how roots modify the 
soil environment. I am looking for literature describing the effect of roots 
on soil parameters such as: water content, porosity, pH, particle size 
distribution, nutrient concentrations, bulk density, soil atmosphere, total 
carbon...
I recently read an interesting article describing how TDR was used to 
measure  nocturnal release of water by corn roots. I would appreciate any 
recommendations for literature describing how roots modify their soil 
environment.
Thanks in advance...
