abstract = {The spatiotemporal distribution of root water uptake (RWU)
depends on the dynamics of the root distribution and
compensatory uptake from wetter regions in the root zone.
This work aimed to parameterize three RWU models with
different representations of compensation: the
Feddes–Jarvis model that uses an empirical function, the
Feddes model without compensation, and the Couvreur model
that is based on a physical description of water flow in the
soil–root system. These models were implemented in
HYDRUS-1D, and soil hydraulic parameters were optimized by
inverse modeling using soil water content and potential
measurements and observations of root distributions of
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in horizontally
installed rhizotubes. Soil moisture was equally well
predicted by the three models, and the soil hydraulic
parameters optimized by the models with compensation were
comparable. The obtained RWU parameters of the
Feddes–Jarvis model were consistent with data reported in
the literature, although the pressure heads h3l and h3h for
lower and higher transpirations rates, respectively, could
not be uniquely identified. Response surfaces of the
objective function showed that the root-related parameters
of the Couvreur model could be identified using inverse
modeling. Furthermore, these parameters were consistent with
combined root architectural and hydraulic observations from
the literature. The Feddes–Jarvis and Couvreur models
simulated similar root-system-scale stress functions that
link total RWU to the effective root zone water potential,
suggesting that parameters may be transferable between the
two models. Simulated RWU profiles differed due to different
water redistribution by the root system, but the
measurements were not sufficiently precise to observe this
redistribution},
