Sentence examples for models of root from inspiring English sources
Models of root systems are essential tools to understand how crops access and use soil resources during their development.
In this chapter, we review seven widely cited models of root architecture and development in terms of their ability to improve predictions of plant and soil nutrient flows.
Though their relevance to field soil conditions has to be considered with caution, such platforms are instrumental for feeding, then calibrating and validating, dynamic models of root architecture in response to resource scarcity and distribution (reviewed in Hill et al. [2013]).
This study is the first to develop allometric models of root biomass for swidden landscapes in this region, which we hypothesised would be a major carbon pool given that resprouting, and associated high root biomass, is a common physiological/morphological trait in regularly disturbed ecosystems.
Therefore, we have developed a new approach for the representation and modelling of root architecture based on branching density.
A two-dimensional model of root distribution beneath trees is presented and used to calculate the root area ratio and root cohesion on potential slip surfaces that intersect a root system.
An empirical model of root coherence for the fluctuating lift for a flat-box deck has been developed and proved to be feasible and effective for fitting the test data.
Lee et al. employed the log-logistic distribution (LLD) for frequency analysis of multiyear drought durations [13], whereas Shoukri et al. employed LLD to analyze extensive Canadian precipitation data [14], and Narda and Malik used LLD to develop a model of root growth and water uptake in wheat [15].
These rules were used to build an integrative mechanistic model of root ramification based on auxin.
We designed a mechanistic model of root ramification integrating lateral inhibition due to competition for auxin.
To test this hypothesis, we designed a mechanistic model of root ramification based on auxin fluxes (Figure 8A).
