Abstract: Soil resources distribute heterogeneously in natural ecosystems, which is known as soil heterogeneity. Responses of plant roots to soil heterogeneity are important for their adaptation to the changes of environments. However, few observations of root systems in soil are recorded, and there is a lack of comprehensive theory for roots responses to soil heterogeneity.
