Abstract:Estimates of rooting depth are necessary parameters in predicting available water capacity (AWC) of soils. In a recently assembled database for the Burdekin River Irrigation Area, no single criterion, commonly used to estimate rooting depth, was available for all sites. Therefore a number of methods of estimating rooting depth which give interchangeable results were required. This paper compares eight methods of estimating rooting depth within three AWC models and compares the outcome with field determinations… Show more
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.
