Root morphology and biomechanical characteristics of high altitude alpine plant species and their potential application in soil stabilization

Glacial forefields host young, poorly developed soils with highly unstable environmental conditions. Root system contribution to soil stabilization is a well-known phenomenon. Identifying the functional traits and root morphology of pioneer vegetation that establish on forefields can provide informa...
