From hydraulic root architecture models to macroscopic representations of root hydraulics in soil water flow and land surface models

<p>Root water uptake is an important process in the terrestrial water cycle. How this process depends on soil water content, root distributions, and root properties is a soil–root hydraulic problem. We compare different approaches to implement root hydraulics in macroscopic soil water flow and...
