The improvement in soil and root parameterization is a key to enhance the root zone moisture depletion pattern prediction capability. In the present study, a new compensated non-linear root water uptake (RWU) model is developed to analyse moisture flow under various crop growth and soil conditions. This is achieved by introducing a water stress index in the calibrated non-linear RWU model that takes care of RWU compensation. The present study also deals with the identifiability of soil hydraulic and RWU parameters using soil moisture and percolation data with an inverse approach.* Modèle d'absorption d'eau racinaire non linéaire compensé et identification des paramètres hydrauliques du sol et d'absorption d'eau racinaire
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
