Modeling the Impact of Biopores on Root Growth and Root Water Uptake

Roots are known to use biopores as preferential growth pathways to overcome hard soil layers and access subsoil water resources. This study evaluates root–biopore interactions at the root-system scale under different soil physical and environmental conditions using a mechanistic simulation model and...
