abstract = {Soil mechanical impedance, hypoxia and water stress are the
main soil physical causes of reduced root growth, but they
are rarely included in root growth models. The aim of this
work was to study the impact of soil compaction on soybean
root growth in an Oxisol using extensive field data as well
as a mechanistic model that is sensitive to soil physical
conditions. Soybean was cultivated under field conditions in
a Rhodic Eutrodox in four treatments. The treatments
consisted of three soil compaction levels (no-tillage
system, areas trafficked by a tractor, and trafficked by a
harvester) and soil chiselling management (performed in an
area previously cultivated under no-tillage). Soil
structural properties (soil penetration resistance, bulk
density, total porosity, macroporosity and microporosity),
root system parameters (root length density, root dry mass
and root anatomy) and crop production components (grain
yield, shoot dry biomass) were determined for the four
treatments down to 50 cm soil depth. A mechanistic model,
sensitive to mechanical and hydric stresses, was applied to
simulate soybean root growth. The model was able to simulate
the interaction between the soil physical conditions and
soybean root growth. Soil compaction differentiated vertical
root distribution according to a stress reduction function
impeding root elongation. Consequently, root growth was
influenced by soil physical conditions during the cropping
season, and simulated root length density showed strong
agreement to measured data. Soybean grain yield was reduced
due to both compaction (caused by harvester traffic) and
excessive loosening (promoted by chiselling) relative to the
no-tillage system. Soil physical attributes (i.e., soil bulk
density, penetration resistance, macroporosity and
microporosity) were only weakly correlated with grain yield
and root growth. This may be due to the fact that those soil
physical attributes are static properties that do not
represent the dynamics of mechanical and hydric stresses
during the growing season. Soil compaction changed the
anatomy, shape and size of roots. Moreover, cortex cells
were deformed in the secondary root growth stage. In the
compacted soil, mechanical impedance had a major effect on
root growth, while in the loose soil, the matric potential
(water stress) represented the major soil physical
limitation to root growth. Soil chiselling increased the
root length density, but it reduced the grain yields due
water stress. The study showed that soybean root growth was
successfully modelled with respect to soil physical
conditions (mechanical impedance, hypoxia and water stress)
for different compaction levels of a Rhodic Eutrudox.},
