- Title
Identifying the optimal spatially and temporally invariant root distribution for a semiarid environment.

Sivandran, Gajan; Bras, Rafael L.
- Abstract
The article offers information on a hydrologic model named tRIBS + YEGG IE which is used estimate the role of vertical root distribution on hydrologic fluxes. It informs that a series of simulations are conducted to explore the parameter space of both rooting schemes and the optimal root distribution. It mentions that the study has presented a method which can be used for measuring local plants, soil and climate for the parameterization of rooting profiles in semiarid regions.
