Validation of coupled speciation-transport models to describe root
... The classical model for root uptake of solutes from the soil supposes a cylindrical root surrounded by soil through which the solute diffuses and is taken up in a Michaelis-Menten process. The conventional modeling of solute uptake does not consider biogeochemical interactions, e.g. root-induced che ...
