A conceptual diagram illustrating the interactive relationship between reconstructed root zone and the immediately adjacent supporting zone: (1) improved conditions in the root zone due to amendments and inputs of resources (such as irrigation and nutrients); and (2) deteriorating impacts of mobile constraint factors in the support layer on improved conditions in the rhizosphere layer, due to their mobility via capillary rise (soluble salts, alkalinity, acidity, etc.).
