Evaluation of root water uptake in the ISBA-A-gs land surface model using agricultural yield statistics over France
The simulation of root water uptake in land surface models is affected by large uncertainties. The difficulty in mapping soil depth and in describing the capacity of plants to develop a rooting system is a major obstacle to the simulation of the terrestrial water cycle and to the representation of t...
