Different Responses in Root Water Uptake of Summer Maize to Planting Density and Nitrogen Fertilization [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Modifying farming practices combined with breeding has the potential to improve water and nutrient use efficiency by regulating root growth, but achieving this goal requires phenotyping the roots, including their architecture and ability to take up water

Parameterization of Root Water Uptake Models Considering Dynamic Root Distributions and Water Uptake Compensation [PDF]
Vadose Zone Journal, 2018 The spatiotemporal distribution of root water uptake (RWU) depends on the dynamics of the root distribution and compensatory uptake from wetter regions in the root zone.

Effect of parameter choice in root water uptake models – the arrangement of root hydraulic properties within the root architecture affects dynamics and efficiency of root water uptake [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Detailed three-dimensional models of root water uptake have become increasingly popular for investigating the process of root water uptake. However, they suffer from a lack of information on important parameters, particularly on the spatial distribution ...

An optimality-based model of the coupled soil moisture and root dynamics [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2008 The main processes determining soil moisture dynamics are infiltration, percolation, evaporation and root water uptake. Modelling soil moisture dynamics therefore requires an interdisciplinary approach that links hydrological, atmospheric and biological ...

From hydraulic root architecture models to macroscopic representations of root hydraulics in soil water flow and land surface models [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 Root water uptake is an important process in the terrestrial water cycle. How this process depends on soil water content, root distributions, and root properties is a soil–root hydraulic problem.
