Rooting depth constraint

limits rooting depth to soil profile depth

deterministic formula, dimensional formula, discrete-time formula, dynamic formula, formula, nonlinear formula

Description

This constraint limits simulated crop rooting depth to the depth of the soil profile. It prevents roots from extending beyond physically available soil layers. The constraint reflects soil-imposed limitations on root system expansion. It is applied after computing potential rooting depth from phenological development.

Formula(s) and Quantities

$R D_{i} \leq R Z_{j}$
$R D$ represents rooting depth
$R Z$ represents root zone depth
