Root-zone Water Dynamics

Root-Zone Water Dynamics is a hydrological construct that characterizes the spatial and temporal variations in water movement, storage, and availability within the soil profile influenced by plant root activity, distinguishing it from broader soil water processes by focusing explicitly on the biophysically active zone of plant-water interactions.
