A Big Root Approximation of Site‐Scale Vegetation Water Uptake
Abstract Land surface model (LSM) predictions of soil moisture and transpiration under water‐limited conditions suffer from biases due to a lack of mechanistic process description of vegetation water uptake. Here, I derive a “big root” approach from the porous pipe equation for root water uptake and...
