Soil Health
Guidelines
Program Questions
- How do factors (pH and root exudation) influence Si’s transport, cycling, and binding potential from primary minerals into H4SiO4 in agricultural soil systems?
- How does Si interact with reactive nutrients (Ca, Na, and Fe) to facilitate the mobilization and CO2 sequestration process in soil?
- What are the genomic responses combined with Si application and salinity stress?
- How does root exudation (organic acids and isoflavones) influence Si uptake and mobilization?
- How can the Si-CO2 interactions help improve soil and microbial health and plant biomass in soils?
