Visual lesson 06
Root-zone oxygen diffusion
Compare air-filled and water-filled pore space to understand why oxygen replenishment can become limiting when media remains saturated and root or microbial respiration continues.
Primary visual specification
Root-zone pore-space oxygen diffusion diagram
Create an academically accurate root-zone pore-space oxygen diffusion diagram for the Root-zone oxygen diffusion lesson. Use neutral studio lighting or clean academic illustration conventions, realistic botanical proportions, readable labels where needed, no yellow cast, and no decorative elements that compete with the teaching objective.

Knowledge check
PracticeCan you explain what the visual is showing?
Why can a persistently saturated root zone reduce oxygen availability around roots even when the irrigation water itself contains dissolved oxygen?
