Continuum mechanics methods applied to root growth and the penetration of soil by roots

Creator:

McCoy, Edward L.

Abstract:

The principles of continuum mechanics provide a consistent framework for the derivation of mathematical statements describing transport of water and solute, and growth in plant tissue. These derivations are based upon the explicit consideration of the tissue as a mathematical continuum composed of a cell wall matrix, water, and solute...
