Biopore Formation

Biopore Formation is a soil structural process in which macropores are created within the soil matrix through the activity of plant roots, soil fauna, or microbial organisms, thereby distinguishing it from abiotic pore-forming mechanisms by its biological origin and ecological mediation.
