The research aim was toanalyse and model the effects of root type and age, radial root geometry and root hairs onnutrient gradients in the rhizosphere. Using micro-X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (μ-XRF) combined with X-ray computedtomography (X-ray CT), we analysed nutrient gradients around root segments with differentdiameters and ages of two Zea mays genotypes (wild-type and root hair defective mutant)growing in two substrates (loam and sand). Gradients of key nutrients were compared withgradients obtained by a process-based, radially symmetric 1D rhizosphere model. Results show that root hairs matter for nutrient uptake during supply limitation (phosphorus(P)), but not when it is limited by uptake kinetics (calcium (Ca), sulphur (S)). Higher Ca and Saccumulation was observed at the surface of older and thicker root segments than at youngerand thinner root segments. Micro-XRF proved suitable for the detection of nutrient gradients of Ca and S, but not of P.While continuum modelling was well suited to explain observed nutrient gradients, it was lesseffective in representing pore-related phenomena, such as precipitation reactions, which callsfor new homogenization approaches. 001049174 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-2173$$a2173 - Agro-biogeosystems: controls, feedbacks and impact (POF4-217)$$cPOF4-217$$fPOF IV$$x0 001049174 536__ $$0G:(GEPRIS)403801423$$aDFG project G:(GEPRIS)403801423 - Koordinationsfonds (403801423)$$c403801423$$x1 001049174 536__ $$0G:(GEPRIS)403640293$$aDFG project G:(GEPRIS)403640293 - Relevanz von Wurzelwachstum und assoziierter Bodenstruktur für raum-zeitliche Muster chemischer und biologischer Parameter und emergente Systemfunktionen (403640293)$$c403640293$$x2 001049174 536__ $$0G:(GEPRIS)403641034$$aDFG project G:(GEPRIS)403641034 - Modellierung von Selbstorganisation in der Rhizosphäre (403641034)$$c403641034$$x3 001049174 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 001049174 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)165987$$aLandl, Magdalena$$b1 001049174 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBraatz, Eric$$b2 001049174 7001_ $$00000-0002-3140-9058$$aSchlüter, Steffen$$b3 001049174 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aKilian, Rüdiger$$b4 001049174 7001_ $$00000-0002-7186-6528$$aMikutta, Robert$$b5 001049174 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)157922$$aSchnepf, Andrea$$b6 001049174 7001_ $$00000-0003-2020-3262$$aVetterlein, Doris$$b7 001049174 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1472194-6$$a10.1111/nph.70102$$gVol. 246, no. 4, p. 1780 - 1795$$n4$$p1780 - 1795$$tThe new phytologist$$v246$$x0028-646X$$y2025 001049174 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1049174/files/New%20Phytologist%20-%202025%20-%20Lippold%20-%20Linking%20micro%E2%80%90X%E2%80%90ray%20fluorescence%20spectroscopy%20and%20X%E2%80%90ray%20computed%20tomography%20with%20model.pdf$$yOpenAccess 001049174 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1049174$$popenaire$$popen_access$$pVDB$$pdriver$$pdnbdelivery 001049174 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)165987$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 001049174 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)157922$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b6$$kFZJ 001049174 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-217$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-210$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-200$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-2173$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Erde und Umwelt$$lErde im Wandel – Unsere Zukunft nachhaltig gestalten$$vFür eine nachhaltige Bio-Ökonomie – von Ressourcen zu Produkten$$x0 001049174 9141_ $$y2025 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bNEW PHYTOL : 2022$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9905$$2StatID$$aIF >= 5$$bNEW PHYTOL : 2022$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3001$$2StatID$$aDEAL Wiley$$d2024-12-12$$wger 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1060$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Agriculture, Biology and Environmental Sciences$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0430$$2StatID$$aNational-Konsortium$$d2024-12-12$$wger 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2024-12-12 001049174 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 001049174 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2024-12-12 001049174 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)IBG-3-20101118$$kIBG-3$$lAgrosphäre$$x0 001049174 980__ $$ajournal 001049174 980__ $$aVDB 001049174 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 001049174 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBG-3-20101118 001049174 9801_ $$aFullTexts
