Abstract Bioenergy production often focuses on the aboveground feedstock for conversion to fuel and other materials. However, belowground component is crucial soil carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas fluxes, ecosystem function. Roots maximize marginal lands by acquiring resources mediating processes through interactions with microbial community. This world challenging observe quantify; however, there are unprecedented opportunities using current methodologies bring roots, microbes, into...
