This paper aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the effects of vegetation roots on the
soil structure and soil hydraulic properties. After a thorough review of current studies, the …

Food and water security are considered the most critical issues globally due to the projected
population growth placing pressure on agricultural systems. Because agricultural activity is …

While the ORYZA model has been widely used in the simulation of rice growth, its current
water-and-nitrogen balance module is unable to simulate some complex water and nitrogen …

Soil-crop simulation models are widely used to assess the impacts of soil management and
climate change on soil water balance, solute transport and crop production. In this context, it …

A soil moisture data-driven method through inversely solving the Richards' equation was
tested, and proved to be a reliable alternative estimator of actual evapotranspiration (ET a) …

Hydraulic parameters define the water retention, θ (ψ), and the unsaturated hydraulic
conductivity, K (θ), functions. These functions are usually obtained by fitting experimental …

While the ORYZA crop model has been widely used in the simulation of rice growth, its
computation ability is limited in terms of simulating the water balance components (WBCs) of …

There is an urgent need to ensure regional food security and increase irrigation water
productivity in response to water shortages in arid and semi-arid regions. Previous studies of …

Many experiments showed that exogenous ligands could enhance cadmium (Cd)
phytoextraction efficiency in soils. Previous studies suggested that the dissociation and the …

It is important to delineate the root water uptake (RWU) response to salt and water stress for
assessing future water availability under extreme climatic conditions. The process of RWU in …
