The most obvious conclusion though is that the compaction of the soil could be an oxygen-to m-roots issue more than it is a physical "the roots cant penetrate through" issue. In the test tubes, the roots seem to be penetrating just fine through the soil, even where I placed my full body weight onto it mimicking a shoe. So far within my experiment, oxygen seems to be the probable limiting issue with foot traffic compaction, rather than root penetration.
