• The Influence of Plant Root Systems on Subsurface Flow: Implications for Slope Stability (2011, unknown): “In some cases, void space may still occupy up to 40% of the macropore vol- ume, even if the roots tend to stick to the macropore wall along portions of the circumference (Kooistra et al. 1992).”
• Soil compaction effects on growth and root traits of tobacco depend on light, water regime and mechanical stress (2012, unknown): “This positive effect could be due to a better root–soil contact, which can improve nutrient uptake (Arvidsson, 1999; Kooistra et al., 1992).”
