Rooting depth

depth of roots

deterministic quantity, dimensional quantity, dynamic quantity, quantity

Corresponding Quantity Kind: length with ISQ dimension $𝖫$

Description

This quantity represents the vertical extent of the crop root system on a specific day. It defines the maximum soil depth from which roots can extract water and nutrients. Rooting depth increases as the crop develops and is capped by the soil profile depth. The value constrains root biomass distribution and soil–plant exchange processes. It is expressed as a length.
