Uptake of solutes by multiple root systems from soil

Uptake of solutes by multiple root systems from soil A procedure is put forward for calculating the plant uptake of solutes supplied by diffusion and mass flow to the randomly dispersed roots of a developing root system. The model was tested as follows: (a) for a constant root density, and both transport processes—against a more accurate numerical solution of the same system (b) for an increasing root density, and for supply by diffusion only—by electrical simulation using the analog described in Part I. In both cases, results obtained by the two types of calculation were in close agreement. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Plant and Soil Springer Journals

Abstract

A procedure is put forward for calculating the plant uptake of solutes supplied by diffusion and mass flow to the randomly dispersed roots of a developing root system. The model was tested as follows: (a) for a constant root density, and both transport processes—against a more accurate numerical solution of the same system (b) for an increasing root density, and for supply by diffusion only—by electrical simulation using the analog described in Part I. In both cases, results obtained by the two types of calculation were in close agreement.
