Evaluation of root water uptake models – a review
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 plants. Present paper is aimed to illustrate and discuss how mathematical modeling can be used for understanding of plants and, in particular, plant–soil interactions. Soil water movement due to root water uptake is a key process for plant growth and transport of water in the soil plant system. There are different root water uptake models which can be used for estimation of moisture uptake by plants. The accuracy of moisture uptake prediction by plants depends on selection of proper mathematical models. Root uptake models are available in different forms i.e. linear, nonlinear, and exponential. In this paper, a detailed review of the most commonly used models which are suitable for the estimation of moisture uptake by plants in different agro-climatic regions is presented. Further, an effort has been made to compare the performance of different widely used models under controlled condition and future research needs are outlined.
