Tracer distribution in legume roots and soluble rhizodeposits over a few weeks after a triple isotope (13C, 15N, 33P) labeling
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/174524
Abstract
Belowground carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs by plants via roots and rhizodeposition are key drivers of these elements cycling in soils.
