Quantification of root water uptake in soil using X-ray Computed Tomography and image based modelling

Spatially averaged models of root-soil interactions are often used to calculate plant water uptake. Using a combination of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) and image based modelling we tested the accuracy of this spatial averaging by directly calculating plant water uptake for young wheat plants in tw...
