Soil hydraulic properties control soil water storage as well as the rate of water flow towards plant roots, therefore, they play a fundamental role in hydrological processes that drive the functioning of natural and agricultural ecosystems. Although several studies on plant water availability have been carried out, most of them are based on empirical approaches, therefore unable to repres…
Modeling is a powerful tool in studies to elucidate details about the root water uptake from soil. Models for this purpose generally apply to the condition of monoculture, however, in many real situations the soil is explored by more than one plant species, for example, when weeds interfere with agricultural crops, in agroforestry systems, or in natural ecosystems. The Caatinga biome is a…
In line with the ongoing postdoctoral project, this internship in the USA seeks to implement a process-based analysis integrating soil hydraulic properties with crops and climate zones. The investigation aims to identify a better tuning of combinations of soil and crop in order to optimize the efficiency of water use in crop productivity, and as well as to develop strategies to adapt and …
Root water uptake modeling is essential to estimate the transpiration rates as well as to understand the water dynamics between plants and atmosphere. However, despite the importance of root water uptake processes, their interactions are not completely understood. One of the bottlenecks is the modeling of multi-species agro - or ecosystems. The objective of this doctoral internship projec…
