Predicting crop yields and soil‐plant nitrogen dynamics in the US Corn Belt (2020, background): “This is particularly evident when predictions are made under extreme weather scenarios or in environments with specific characteristics such as shallow water tables or soil constraints (Wang and Smith, 2004).”
Spatial distribution of maize roots by complete 3D soil monolith sampling (2009, methodology): “Several recent root growth models are based on 3D root system architecture (Pages et al. 2000; Wang and Smith 2004; Wu et al. 2005), and some 3D soil water flow models contain a spatially distributed root water extraction term (e.g., Somma et al. 1998).”
Impact of subsoil water use on wheat yield (2007, background): “Simulation studies used in a predictive way are constrained to some extent by the need to make assumptions and use empirical constants to describe water use from dense, highly structured subsoil layers where RLD is low and root distribution heterogeneous (Wang and Smith 2004), which typifies the con”
