Implementing small scale processes at the soil-plant interface – the role of root architectures for calculating root water uptake profiles
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 atmospheric water demand and the bulk soil wa...
