- Exudates producing plants via their roots have significant benefits in improving soil quality for better crop production and in stabilising earth infrastructure. This novel reported the impact of real plant root exudates on soil stability. Rigorously, plant root exudates were characterised both physically and chemically, and it was reported that plant root exudates may stabilise or weaken soil depending on their chemical characteristics. This article is one of the most downloaded articles published in the European Journal of Soil Science in their recent publication history. The research was funded by BBSRC grant BB/J000868/1.
