Water movement through plant roots – exact solutions of the water flow equation in roots with linear or exponential piecewise hydraulic properties
In 1978, Landsberg and Fowkes presented a solution of the water flow equation inside a root with uniform hydraulic properties. These properties are root radial conductivity and axial conductance, which control, respectively, the radial water flow between the root surface and xylem and the axial f...
