Testing an optimality-based model of rooting zone water storage capacity in temperate forests

<p>Rooting zone water storage capacity <i>S</i><sub>r</sub> is a crucial parameter for modeling hydrology, ecosystem gas exchange and vegetation dynamics. Despite its importance, this parameter is still poorly constrained and subject to high uncertainty. We tested th...
