A Macroscopic Water Extraction Model for Nonuniform Transient Salinity and Water Stress

Abstract: Quantitative description of root‐water uptake under combined salinity and water stress is needed to optimize crop yields and water management in arid and semiarid regions. This study was conducted to develop a simple macroscopic root‐water uptake model for nonuniform transient soil water content and salinity conditions in the root zone. This new model and previous models were tested against detailed experimental data obtained with Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) grown in the greenhouse in packed sandy loam (Typic… Show more

“…The method to consider water stress was used to determine root water uptake. Parameter values optimized by Singh et al (2003) for rice crops (h 1 = 100 cm, h 2 = 55 cm, h 3 (high) = −160 cm, h 3 (low) = −250 cm, and h 4 = −15,000 cm) were used to parameterize the water stress response function proposed by Feddes et al (1978) and Homaee et al (2002). Parameters h 1 through h 4 represent different pressure head values, which affect root water uptake in the soil.…”

“…Combined water and salinity stresses have been proposed in macroscopic RWU models (Feddes and Raats, 2004;Homaee et al, 2002). To express the reduction of the water uptake rate under the coexistence of drought and osmotic stresses, we employed an additive form:…”

“…Halophytes grown in highly saline and N-deficient environments and glycophytes grown in mildly saline and N-deficient environments respond similarly to added N (Okusanya and Ungar 1984). Some studies also indicate that corn and cotton dry matter decreased by increasing salinity but increases by N application (Homaee et al 2002).…”

“…However, this depends on the type of nutrients and composition of soil solution (Grattan and Grieve 1999, Maas and Grattan 1999, Homaee et al 2002. Although plants selectively absorb potassium over sodium, Na + -induced K + deficiency can develop on crops under salinity stress by Na + salt (Maas and Grattan 1999).…”
