A simple three-dimensional macroscopic root water uptake model based on the hydraulic architecture approach
Many hydrological models including root water uptake (RWU) do not consider the dimension of root system hydraulic architecture (HA) because explicitly solving water flow in such a complex system is too time consuming. However, they might lack process understanding when basing RWU and plant water str...
