Coupled roles of hydraulic redistribution and sub-surface moisture transport in semiarid ecosystems
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2023-12-01

An experimental and modeling synthesis to determine seasonality of hydraulic redistribution in semi-arid region with multispecies
… aboveground and belowground interaction through hydraulic redistribution (HR), a phenomenon that roots serve as preferential pathways for water movement from wet to dry soil layers. HR process is simulated by multi-layer canopy model (MLCan) and compared with relative measurements from the field …

Deep-Layer Terrestrial Hydrologic Memory and Mechanisms of Its Influence on the Eco-Climatology of the Biosphere
… environments use a mechanism called ""hydraulic redistribution"" for transferring moisture via the root system from moist soil layers to dry soil layers. Analyses using observed and simulated datasets of soil moisture indicate an increasing memory with soil depth. Given that the …

Functional role of plant water fluxes in nutrient acquisition
… transpiration, plants water fluxes occur through hydraulic redistribution (HR). I hypothesized that an important function of plant water fluxes is to drive mass-flow nutrient acquisition, with flux rates positively correlated with nutrient limitation but not deficiency. To test whether nutrient …

A physiological basis to crop improvement and agronomic development
… with adjacent N₂ fixing trees, in terms of hydraulic redistribution, N availability and crop yields. In this thesis, the proxy-based approach to crop selection was defined as a surrogate-based (proxy and surrogate used interchangeably) screening of cultivars for morphological, anatomical, …
