Abstract: AbstractThe transpiration reduction function of root water uptake (RWU) models play a crucial role in modeling crop evapotranspiration, yield, and water-use efficiency. Various empirical functions can describe how RWU ...

Abstract: AbstractUnderstanding transient heat transport in a layered subsurface media is essential for applications ranging from groundwater recharge estimation to climate signal detection in soil. This study presents an analytical ...

Abstract: The present study is concerned with the analysis of moisture flow in the crop root zone and estimation of soil hydraulic and root water uptake parameters from soil moisture depletion data using the inverse procedure. The ...

Abstract: AbstractSoil salinity poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, especially in arid and semiarid regions, where the accumulation of excessive salts in the root zone impedes water uptake and adversely affects ...
