Key Points

Summarize practical root-management strategies to enhance soil health, improve crop resilience, and support climate mitigation goals within the Root2Resilience project.
Synthesized agronomic evidence and management principles developed under the Root2Resilience initiative.
Evaluated functional relationships between root traits, soil structural health, and crop environmental stress tolerance.
Identifies root management as a primary biological driver for sustaining soil fertility and ecosystem functions.
Shows that optimizing root architecture strengthens crop resistance against climatic variability while facilitating subterranean carbon storage.
