News from the “Drachenberg”: article about wind effects on plant root morphology and its consequences for plant-soil interactions was published in Annals of Botany Plants. In a field experiment, Johannes Heinze together with Bachelor student Luise Werger found that wind intensity affected the fine-root morphology and the outcome of plant-soil interactions of grassland plants. Thanks to the Botanical Garden of the University of Potsdam for their support.
