Root zone depth

maximum depth available for root growth in the soil profile

Corresponding Quantity Kind: length with ISQ dimension $𝖫$

Description

This quantity represents the depth of the soil profile available for root growth. It constrains the maximum rooting depth that can be attained regardless of crop potential. It reflects physical soil limitations such as bedrock or impermeable layers.
