Computation of root biomass allocation

allocates daily biomass growth to the root system

computational task, discrete-time task, linear task

Description

This task computes the fraction of daily crop biomass growth that is allocated to the root system. The allocation fraction is determined as a linear function of phenological development. The task produces a deterministic estimate of daily root biomass increment, which is used to update root system mass.

Contained entities

total root weight accumulation equation	$R W T_{i} = R W T_{i - 1} + Δ R W T_{i}$
	$R W T$ represents accumulated total root weight
	$Δ R W T$ represents total root weight increment
	$i$ represents day index

root biomass partitioning equation	$Δ R W T_{i} = Δ B_{P, i} (0.4 - 0.2 H U I_{i})$
	$H U I$ represents heat unit index
	$Δ B_{P}$ represents potential biomass increment
	$Δ R W T$ represents total root weight increment
