      abstract     = {Compared with bulk soil, rhizosphere has different
                      properties because of the existence of root mucilage, which
                      affects physical, chemical, and microbial processes. The
                      slow response of rhizosphere to changes in water potential
                      buffers water content changes and leads the rhizosphere to
                      be wetter than bulk soil during drying. By affecting
                      connectivity of the liquid and gas phases, mucilage can also
                      influence solute transport and gas diffusion. Overview of
                      the literature and previous models shows the lack of a model
                      that describes the connectivity between different phases in
                      the rhizosphere pore space during wetting and drying
                      processes. A major challenge is that mucilage shows a
                      complex behavior, which at low concentrations is more like a
                      liquid, whereas at higher concentration, dry mucilage
                      becomes a solid. In between, a viscoelastic state is
                      observed where mucilage can be considered as a hydrogel. In
                      this study a three-dimensional pore-scale model based on the
                      lattice spring method is introduced and used to simulate
                      drying of mucilage between two soil particles. The model is
                      capable of reproducing spider-web-like structures that are
                      specific for mucilage. This three-dimensional mucilage
                      drying model is qualitatively validated via environmental
                      scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) images of dry mucilage
                      between glass beads. The proposed model may provide us with
                      a new perspective on hydrodynamic processes within the pore
                      space of the rhizosphere. In addition, the model may help to
                      better understand further important processes that strongly
                      depend on rhizosphere hydraulic dynamics, such as solute
                      transport, connectivity of the liquid phase, root
                      penetration resistance, rhizosheath formation, and microbial
                      activity.},
