A mathematical model of plant nutrient uptake

The classical model of plant root nutrient uptake due to Nye, Tinker and Barber is developed and extended. We provide an explicit closed formula for the uptake by a single cylindrical root for all cases of practical interest by solving the absorption-diffusion equation for the soil nutrient concentr...
