Developing methods for spatial analysis and modelling of root growth with particular emphasis on soil and plant water effects
Project
Project code: BMBF-0330658
Contract period: 01.01.2005
- 31.12.2007
Budget: 112,121 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
In the centre of the project is the spatial modeling of root growth. From decisive importance for this is the dry out of the soil profile by the roots during the vegetation period under consideration of the evapo-transporation. The Project will work on two different research main emphasis:
A) Spatial modeling
• Definition of datasets as prerequisites for the spatial modeling of roots
• Geostatistics especially cokriging
• GIS based developing of dynamic pedo-transfer functions under help of fuzzy logic
B) Processorientated modeling
• Crop growth modeling – Calibration and Validation of DSSAT 4
• Modeling the soil water influence on the root growth
