abstract = {How much water can be taken up by roots and how this
depends on the root and water distributions in the root zone
are important questions that need to be answered to describe
water fluxes in the soil–plant–atmosphere system.
Physically based root water uptake (RWU) models that relate
RWU to transpiration, root density, and water potential
distributions have been developed but used or tested far
less. This study aims at evaluating the simulated RWU of
winter wheat using the empirical Feddes–Jarvis (FJ) model
and the physically based Couvreur (C) model for different
soil water conditions and soil textures compared to sap flow
measurements. Soil water content (SWC), water potential, and
root development were monitored noninvasively at six soil
depths in two rhizotron facilities that were constructed in
two soil textures: stony vs. silty, with each of three water
treatments: sheltered, rainfed, and irrigated. Soil and root
parameters of the two models were derived from inverse
modeling and simulated RWU was compared with sap flow
measurements for validation. The different soil types and
water treatments resulted in different crop biomass, root
densities, and root distributions with depth. The two models
simulated the lowest RWU in the sheltered plot of the stony
soil where RWU was also lower than the potential RWU. In the
silty soil, simulated RWU was equal to the potential uptake
for all treatments. The variation of simulated RWU among the
different plots agreed well with measured sap flow but the C
model predicted the ratios of the transpiration fluxes in
the two soil types slightly better than the FJ model. The
root hydraulic parameters of the C model could be
constrained by the field data but not the water stress
parameters of the FJ model. This was attributed to
differences in root densities between the different soils
and treatments which are accounted for by the C model,
whereas the FJ model only considers normalized root
densities. The impact of differences in root density on RWU
could be accounted for directly by the physically based RWU
model but not by empirical models that use normalized root
density functions.},
