“…This impact can be direct and indirect. The former derives from the direct rootcurrent iteration and depends on the large surface area and capacitance of roots, which, in turns, has been linked to root physiology and suberization (Weigand, 2017;Peruzzo et al, 2021;Tsukanov and Schwartz, 2021). The latter, indirect impact, is a combination of the root-induced changes in the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the rhizosphere, e.g., RWU, root exudation, solute uptake and rhizosphere microbiome changes (Landl et al, 2021).…”
