The interaction of plant roots and associated microorganisms to deliver soil quality and functions. Studies with UK farmers to analyse how soil quality in croplands can be improved by diverse rotations and reduced tillage, assessing benefits to farmers such as crop yields, reduced fertilizer costs and drought/flood resilience, and to the public from carbon sequestration and soil water infiltration/storage.
