Root development, carbon isotope fractionation and gas exchange in claypan soils
Managing soils in the context of climate change
I'm focused in the understand:
1) How do improve morphometrics and functional performance of roots system submitted to claypan soil?
2) Are there relationships between differential levels of isotopic fractionation of carbon in soil, roots and leaf gas exchange performance with their root morphometric and functional changes?
An integrative approach of different areas of expertise, aiming to advances in the frontier of scientific knowledge concerning the resulting interactions of plants with the soil environment that make up each system, could allow the development of biochdemical/physiological and diversity metrics biological as a means of monitoring such systems in terms of losses and gains over time and, mainly, to mitigate the impacts abiotic stresses on crops grow on claypan soils.
