Root Surface Area Dynamics

Root Surface Area Dynamics is a biophysical construct that characterizes the temporal and spatial changes in the total surface area of plant roots available for nutrient and water uptake, distinguishing it from static root morphological traits by explicitly accounting for growth, branching, senescence, and soil interface interactions over time.
