Inclusion of bedrock vadose zone in dynamic global vegetation models is key for simulating vegetation structure and function
<p>Across many upland environments, soils are thin and plant roots extend into fractured and weathered bedrock where moisture and nutrients can be obtained. Root water extraction from unsaturated weathered bedrock is widespread and, in many environments, can explain gradients in vegetation com...
