Estimating the parameters of a 3-D root distribution function from root observations with the trench profile method: case study with simulated and field-observed root data

Background and aims Root length density (RLD) is a parameter that is difficult to measure, but crucial lo estimate water and nutrient uptake by plants. In this study a novel approach is presented to characterize the 3-D root length distribution by supplementing data of the 3-D distribution of root i...
