Towards understanding tree root profiles: simulating hydrologically optimal strategies for root distribution
In this modelling study differences in vertical root distributions measured in four contrasting forest locations in the Netherlands were investigated. Root distributions are seen as a reflection of the plant’s optimisation strategy, based on hydrological grounds. The 'optimal' root distrib...
