Researchers who measure below-ground dynamics often ask which workflow offers the best mix of speed, reliability and long-term usability. This comparison usually comes down to the CI-600 in-situ root imager and the traditional SoilCore plus lab root-scanning pipeline. In this article, we break down both methods and look at speed, reliability, sources of error and… Continue reading…
Selecting the Right Root Imager: Depth, Resolution, Cover, and Cost
Choosing the right root imager is one of those decisions that can quietly shape the quality of an entire research program. Roots are dynamic, heterogeneous, and difficult to observe without disturbing the system you are trying to measure. A good root imager lets you work around that problem by balancing depth, resolution, spatial cover, and… Continue reading…
