A root is a root is a root? Water uptake rates of Citrus root orders [PDF]
ABSTRACTKnowledge about the physiological function of root orders is scant. In this study, a system to monitor the water flux among root orders was developed using miniaturized chambers. Different root orders of 4‐year‐old Citrus volkameriana trees were analysed with respect to root morphology and water flux.

Integrated modeling of canopy photosynthesis, fluorescence, and the transfer of energy, mass, and momentum in the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum (STEMMUS–SCOPE v1.0.0) [PDF]
Root water uptake by plants is a vital process that influences terrestrial energy, water, and carbon exchanges. At the soil, vegetation, and atmosphere interfaces, root water uptake and solar radiation predominantly regulate the dynamics and health of ...

Compensatory hydraulic uptake of water by tomato due to variable root‐zone salinity
Plant root systems are exposed to spatial and temporal heterogeneity regarding water availability. In the long‐term, compensation, increased uptake by roots in areas with favorable conditions in response to decreased uptake in areas under stress, is ...

Water uptake by trees in a riparian hardwood forest (Rhine floodplain, France) [PDF]
Water flow in the soil–root–stem system was studied in a flooded riparian hardwood forest in the upper Rhine floodplain. The study was undertaken to identify the vertical distribution of water uptake by trees in a system where the groundwater is at a ...

Water uptake by roots: effects of water deficit [PDF]
The variable hydraulic conductivity of roots (Lp(r)) is explained in terms of a composite transport model. It is shown how the complex, composite anatomical structure of roots results in a composite transport of both water and solutes. In the model, the parallel apoplastic and cell-to-cell (symplastic and transcellular) pathways play an important role ...

Characterizing roots and water uptake in a ground cover rice production system. [PDF]
Water-saving ground cover rice production systems (GCRPS) are gaining popularity in many parts of the world. We aimed to describe the characteristics of root growth, morphology, distribution, and water uptake for a GCRPS.A traditional paddy rice ...
