Modeling the Impact of Biopores on Root Growth and Root Water Uptake [PDF]
Vadose Zone Journal, 2019 Core Ideas A 3D soil–root model was used to investigate root–biopore interactions. Known effects of biopores on root growth, i.e., increased root length and depth

Compensatory hydraulic uptake of water by tomato due to variable root‐zone salinity
Vadose Zone Journal, 2021 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 ...

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]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2021 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 ...

Water uptake by roots: effects of water deficit [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2000 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]
PLoS ONE, 2017 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 ...

Measuring and Imaging the Soil-root-water System with a Light Transmission 2D Technique
Bio-Protocol, 2019 Improving crops against water deficits requires a better understanding of plant root system functioning. This requires a better knowledge of the water uptake process and to address the influence of root system architecture or root physiological ...

Implementing small scale processes at the soil-plant interface – the role of root architectures for calculating root water uptake profiles [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2010 In this paper, we present a stand alone root water uptake model called aRoot, which calculates the sink term for any bulk soil water flow model taking into account water flow within and around a root network. The boundary conditions for the model are the
