Root water uptake is not only fundamental for plant hydration and nutrition but also plays a critical role in the global water cycle. By absorbing water from the soil, plants contribute to the terrestrial part of the water cycle, influencing groundwater recharge, soil moisture levels, and eventua...
The pathways of water across root tissues and their relative contribution to plant water uptake remain debated. This is mainly due to technical challenges in measuring water flux non-invasively at the cellular scale under realistic conditions. We develop
This work provides a theoretical basis for the study of water movement in the SPAC. Chapter Preview Top Introduction Root water uptake is an important process of water cycle and an important part of the research on water transforming patterns in the SPAC (Soil-Plant-Air Continuum). A ...

Understanding water sources for crop water uptake in agricultural and agroforestry systems is an essential step to develop more efficient and sustainable water management strategies, which is increasingly important in the light of current world population growth, changing climatic conditions and consequent ...
A model is presented for the simulation of water flow, heat flow, and nitrate and ammonium transport. Two approaches are used for modelling plant water uptake as well as for plant nitrogen uptake. Nitrogen transformations are accounted for in a very simple way. This paper focuses mainly on wat...

. Both the vascular system and the CS play a critical role in water and mineral nutrient uptake from the soil, and their transport toward the shoot8,9,10. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the composition of lignin monomers in the CS and xylem is similar with a strong predominance of the G-unit ...
Conclusions We conclude that during a drying/wetting cycle, the conductivity of the root-soil interface is a temporary limit to root water uptake. We postulate that the temporary reduced hydraulic conductivity is primarily caused by the rhizosphere water repellency.Mohsen Zarebanadkouki...
