Derivation of a dual porosity model for the uptake of nutrients by root hairs
Root hairs are thought to play an important role in mediating nutrient uptake by plants. We develop a mathematical model for the nutrient transport and uptake in the root hair zone of a single root in the soil. Nutrients are assumed to diffuse both in the soil fluid phase and within the soil particl...
