Parameterization of Root-Soil Interaction Models using Experimental Data

Parameterizing complex functional-structural models (CPlantBox/dumux-rosi) of root-soil interaction and investigating the effects of subsoil management technique, deep loosening, on root architecture development and root water uptake. - Master’s Thesis 2020/21.

Requirement

OS:

• Linux for the models
• Linux/Microsoft/Mac for post processing

Installing

Follow the installation steps in the document “Manual” to install both CPlantBox and dumux-rosi.

Code Documentation

Go to CPlantBox github repos to learn more about the code

Data

The data used in this project can be obtained through personal communication with Prof. Andrea Schnepf, head of the group “Modelling soil-, root systems and rhizosphere processes” at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Institute of Bio- and Geosciences (IBG-3).
