Two-dimensional model for water uptake by root systems

Classical models to describe water uptake by roots use mechanistic or empirical functions to represent the sink term in the water transfer equation, which does not allow for analyzing the effect of the root system geometry on extraction patterns. A model to simulate water uptake was developed in ord...
