Compaction of agricultural soils is a concern for many agricultural soil scientists and farmers
since soil compaction, due to heavy field traffic, has resulted in yield reduction of most …

Publisher Summary The chapter provides a state-of-the-art review of advances in fertigation.
Topics that are covered include an overview of past trends in fertigation, principles of …

This is a completely revised edition of the previously titled Solute Movement in the Soil-Root
System. It describes in detail how plant nutrients and other solutes move in the soil in …

Plant root water and nutrient uptake is one of the most important processes in subsurface
unsaturated flow and transport modeling, as root uptake controls actual plant …

There is wide breadth of root function within ecosystems that should be considered when
modeling the terrestrial biosphere. Root structure and function are closely associated with …

Interaction with the environment is a key factor affecting the development of plants and plant
ecosystems. In this paper we introduce a modeling framework that makes it possible to …

Background Three–dimensional root architectural models emerged in the late 1980s,
providing an opportunity to conceptualise and investigate that all important part of plants that …

We studied water uptake variability at the plant scale using a three-dimensional detailed
model. Specifically, we investigated the sensitivity of the R-SWMS model under different …

Although solutions of multidimensional transient water flow can be obtained by numerical
modeling, their application may be limited in part as root water uptake is generally …
