The rhizosphere

PlantRoot

• The zone of soil that is significantly influenced by living roots

• Usually extends about 2mm out from the root surface

• The rhizosphere is enriched in organic material due to root exudates and sloughed off root cells.

• Microbial activity in the rhizosphere may be 2 – 10 greater than in the bulk soil.
