plant nutrient uptake; mathematical model
This article deals with modelling the simultaneous uptake of water and highly buffered nutrient, such as phosphate, by root branching structures from partially saturated soil. We use the simultaneous water and nutrient uptake model to investigate the effect that water movement has on nutrient uptake. With the aid of this model we are also able to show that the previous models by Barber (Soil Nutrient Bioavailability. A Mechanistic Approach, Wiley-Interscience, New York) and Tinker and Nye (Solute Movement in the Rhizosphere, Oxford University Press, Oxford) systematically underestimated the phosphate uptake, due to the oversimplified approach in dealing with root branching structure. In this article we show how this discrepancy can be remedied and the root branching structure included in the models of plant nutrient uptake. We will also discuss the differences in the results for continuous and spot fertilization combined with variable rainfall. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
