abstract = {In situ investigations of the rhizosphere require
high-resolution imaging techniques, which allow a look into
the optically opaque soil compartment. We present the novel
combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neutron
computed tomography (NCT) to achieve synergistic information
such as water mobility in terms of three-dimensional (3D)
relaxation time maps and total water content maps. Besides a
stationary MRI scanner for relaxation time mapping, we used
a transportable MRI system on site in the NCT facility to
capture rhizosphere properties before desiccation and after
subsequent rewetting. First, we addressed two questions
using water-filled test capillaries between 0.1 and 5 mm:
which root diameters can still be detected by both methods,
and to what extent are defined interfaces blurred by these
imaging techniques? Going to real root system architecture,
we demonstrated the sensitivity of the transportable MRI
device by co-registration with NCT and additional validation
using X-ray computed tomography. Under saturated conditions,
we observed for the rhizosphere in situ a zone with shorter
T1 relaxation time across a distance of about 1 mm that was
not caused by reduced water content, as proven by successive
NCT measurements. We conclude that the effective pore size
in the pore network had changed, induced by a gel phase.
After rewetting, NCT images showed a dry zone persisting
while the MRI intensity inside the root increased
considerably, indicating water uptake from the surrounding
bulk soil through the still hydrophobic rhizosphere.
Overall, combining NCT and MRI allows a more detailed
analysis of the rhizosphere’s functioning.},
