2 INTRODUCTION No-tillage (NT) practices affect soil physical-chemical properties: Soil compaction ( BD) is observed in NT systems, especially during transitional period from conventional tillage (CT) to NT (Chassotet al. 2001, Dal Ferro et al., 2014) Root apparatus suffer soil compaction Agronomic effect: Reduction in yield in NT systems (Lipiec et al. 2012) Environmental effect: Root-derived Carbon is retained in soils more efficiently than other inputs (Schmidt et al., 2011) Changes in root C could have an impact on soil C stock
3 INTRODUCTION Traditional methods to study soil structure and roots distribution are time-consuming, expensive and disruptive Modern geophysical techniques, like Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), are cost-effective, rapid and non disruptive methods to study 3D soil properties Other studies highlight the potential of using ERT on root system spatial distribution (Amato et al., 2008)
4 STUDY AIMS To study the soil structure and roots distribution in NT systems combining: 1. Geophysical methods: multi-electrodes ERT 3D surveys 2. Traditional physical methods for soil studies

27 CONCLUSIONS Roots affected by management and soil physical parameters Root Length Density: NT > CT superficial layers Average Mean Diameter: with BD and PR High moisture condition smoothed the contrast between treatments in ERT survey Exception: F1 site (sandy texture) plough sole in CT confirm the potential of using geophysical techniques as a rapid survey method for soil structure studies when resistivity signal is not masked by other properties The lack of consistent differences between treatments are probably due to the transitional period from CT to NT and high soil variability
