Experimental quantification of dynamotropism and hydropatterning plant root responses

This project aims at investigating the impact of mechanical bending and hydropatterning on riparian plant cuttings to develop asymmetric biomass density under environmental stimuli.

Biomechanical resistance of asymmetric root structures to static uprooting and flow erosion

This project focuses on the effects that asymmetric root architecture has on the uprooting biomechanics both as far as static pullout and erosion by flow are concerned.
