Area of soil near the plant roots, normally the location of large populations of microorganisms.
Also called root zone. The immediate environment in which roots function, i.e., the soil and elements which surround the roots of a plant. For African Violets, the rhizosphere is almost always the rootball.
The region immediately adjacent to plant roots.
A zone of biological activity around roots.
The surface and immediate neighborhood of a root which provides a specialized environment for microorganisms. The term is also used to define the microflora that lives in this region.
The soil zone that surrounds plant roots, which is rich in microorganisms and in which interactions occur between plants and microbes.
The zone of soil in which interactions between living plant roots and microorganisms occur.
Area of soil or sediment in and around a plant's roots.
Soil that surrounds and is influenced by the roots of a plant.
The area immediately around plant roots, including the roots itself. This is an area of intense microbial activity, where plants, microorganisms, other soil organisms, and soil structure and chemistry, interact in complex ways.
Pertaining to soil surrounding the root zone of plants.
The soil region in the immediate vicinity of growing plant roots.
The soil region immediately surrounding plant roots which creates a nutrient rich environment rich for the growth of microorganisms
the soil that surrounds and is influenced by plant roots.
The area around plant roots that is the site of many key interactions between microbes and the plant. It is also the site where nutrients are transformed for take-up by the plant.
Zone of soil of intense microbiological activity, immediately adjacent to the plant roots, and which receives plant root exudates.
the soil zone immediately surrounding a plant root system.
The narrow region around roots where most soil biological activity occurs. Soil organisms take advantage of the sloughed and dead root cells and the root exudates found in this region.
An environment regarded, variously, as (a) that region of the soil modified as a result of the uptake and deposition of substances by a growing root, (b) the root itself, together with that volume of soil which it influences, (c) the root surface together with that region of the surrounding soil in which the microbial population is affected by the presence of a root.

Rhizosphere is the narrow region of soil that is directly influenced by root secretions and associated soil microorganisms. It is teeming with bacteria that feed on sloughed-off plant cells, termed rhizodeposition, and the proteins and sugars released by roots. The protozoa and nematodes that graze on bacteria are also concentrated near roots.
