To prove that plant roots breathe, scientists are conducting a series of laboratory and field studies aimed at measuring gas exchange in the soil. Measuring the consumption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide by the root system provides direct evidence of root respiration. In laboratory conditions, special setups are used to determine that roots actively absorb oxygen from the soil and, conversely, release carbon dioxide. Similar measurements are carried out in field experiments, where variations in oxygen exchange at different soil depths are studied even under low temperatures.
