- W296914071 abstract "Soil structure directly determines important soil physical properties including porosity, hydraulic conductivity, water retention, and mechanical strength. It also indirectly influences almost all biological and chemical processes that occur in soil. Conversely, the development, stability, and dynamics of soil structure are dictated by the very physical, chemical, and biological processes that occur within the structured soil. There is ample empirical evidence showing the effectiveness of wetting and drying in the presence of organic matter in soil aggregation and stabilization. However, the mechanisms that bond the particles together under this process need more investigation. The goal of this dissertation was to understand and develop quantitative description of the role of wetting and drying cycles in presence of exudates in the formation and stabilization of soil aggregates within the rhizosphere.In this dissertation, I (a) developed a new, easy and rapid method to measure the carbohydrate and total carbon concentrations using UV spectrophotometry, (b) examined whether the association between plant root and bacteria exudates with neutral sand particles occurred and defined the mechanism of this association, (c) developed a conceptual/mathematical model describe the soil aggregation mechanism in presence of exudates under multiple wetting and drying cycles, (d) examined the mechanisms that affect rhizosphere water dynamics and whether these dynamics are a result of the osmotic potential induced by root exudates or the soil structure modification that occurred because of these exudates, and (e) developed a mathematical model to quantitatively describe the experimental results of the effect of water potential induced by root exudates on water evaporation rate.This dissertation presented a framework for in-depth understanding on how wetting and drying cycles in the presence of exudates promote soil aggregation and stabilization within the rhizosphere. It also advanced our understanding of the benefits of presence of root exudates in the rhizosphere on water retention and evaporation rate and provided the right-scale physics for high resolution computational modeling of water dynamics around the plant roots and root water uptake." @default.
