Modeling the Impact of Rhizosphere Bulk Density and Mucilage Gradients on Root Water Uptake

In models of water flow in soil and roots, differences in the soil hydraulic properties of the rhizosphere and the bulk soil are usually neglected. There is, however, strong experimental evidence that rhizosphere and bulk soil hydraulic properties differ significantly from each other due to various...
