In Europe, a collaborative effort involving research infrastructures focuses on transitioning agroecosystems to agroecology, enhancing food security, climate resilience, biodiversity, and soil carbon restoration. The initiative, PHENET, unites key European Research Infrastructures like EMPHASIS, AnaEE, eLTER, and ELIXIR. A successful kick-off meeting, featuring partners like BOKU Vienna and S4 mobile laboratories, marked the development of a groundbreaking root imaging probe. This tool aims to bridge the gap between soil coring and frequent root observations, aiding breeders and managers in considering root density and depth distribution for factors like resource uptake and irrigation. Vienna Scientific Instruments contributes to this vital project seeking resilient solutions for Europe's future climate challenges.
