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 ...

A thermodynamic formulation of root water uptake [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016 By extracting bound water from the soil and lifting it to the canopy, root systems of vegetation perform work. Here we describe how root water uptake can be evaluated thermodynamically and demonstrate that this evaluation provides additional insights ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 It is essential to quantify the rate of root water uptake (RWU) and characterize the variability of RWU, which benefits understanding the water use of alpine meadows and its response to environmental changes.

Modeling the influence of rhizodeposits on root water uptake
Vadose Zone JournalThe chemical compounds that plant roots release into the soil, referred to as rhizodeposits, affect soil hydraulic properties like the surface tension and viscosity of soil water, and the contact angle between menisci and the pore surface.

Vadose Zone JournalWater uptake by plant roots is an important component of the soil water balance. Predicting to what extent potential transpiration from the canopy, that is, transpiration demand, can be met by supply of water from the soil through the root system is ...

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.

The Role of Aquaporins in Root Water Uptake [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2002 The capacity of roots to take up water is determined in part by the resistance of living tissues to radial water flow. Both the apoplastic and cell-to-cell paths mediate water transport in these tissues but the contribution of cell membranes to the latter path has long been difficult to estimate. Aquaporins are water channel proteins that are expressed

Modelling Water Uptake Provides a New Perspective on Grass and Tree Coexistence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Root biomass distributions have long been used to infer patterns of resource uptake. These patterns are used to understand plant growth, plant coexistence and water budgets.

A model for water uptake by plant roots [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2004 We present a model for water uptake by plant roots from unsaturated soil. The model includes the simultaneous flow of water inside the root network and in the soil. It is constructed by considering first the water uptake by a single root, and then using the parameterized results thereby obtained to build a model for water uptake by the developing root ...
