The widely used Feddes reduction function (FRF) was reviewed in the context of its merits
and shortcomings for modeling root water uptake (RWU), crop transpiration, and soil water …

Estimation of root water uptake and water movement in plants is crucial to quantify
transpiration and hence the water exchange between land surface and atmosphere through …

How much water can be taken up by roots and how this depends on the root and water
distributions in the root zone are important questions that need to be answered to describe …

Groundwater evaporation can play an important role in crop-water use where the water table
is shallow. Lysimeters are often used to quantify the groundwater evaporation contribution …

SWAT, a physically-based, hydrological model simulates crop growth, soil water and
groundwater movement, and transport of sediment and nutrients at both the process and …

The AquaCrop model was used to model potato growth in a hot semi-arid environment
under diverse irrigation managements including water saving irrigation treatments in two …

Water shortage is the most important factor constraining agricultural production all over the
world. New irrigation strategies must be established to use the limited water resources more …

Plant root–soil water interactions are fundamental to vegetation–water relationships. Soil
water availability and distribution impact the temporal–spatial dynamics of roots and vice …

We analyze the combined effects of the spatial variability of soil hydraulic properties and the
water uptake by plant roots on unsaturated water flow. For this analysis, we use a simplified …

Root water uptake (RWU) is exceptionally difficult to determine in situ due to its unique
nature of occurring underground. Accurately characterizing the spatial–temporal …
