Effect of microbial activity on penetrometer resistance and elastic modulus of soil at different temperatures

We explore the effect of microbial activity stimulated by root exudates on the penetrometer resistance of soil and its elastic modulus. This is important because it is a measure of the mechanical strength of soil and it correlates closely with the rate of elongation of roots. A sandy soil was incuba...
