Current model representations of root water and solute uptake often use simplified approaches (including regulatorily used models such as PEARL)spatially static root water uptake distribution no interaction between root and soil system lumped description of solute uptake (e.g. plant uptake factor PUF, transpiration stream concentration factor TSCF)
