Rootwater Python Package: Initial release
Description
This is a small toolbox for root-water-uptake (RWU) calculation from changes in soil moisture in the rhizosphere (following Feedes and van Dam, 2005; Guderle and Hildebrandt, 2015). We developed a function to evaluate the step-shaped, diurnal changes in soil
moisture to derive an estimate for RWU. The science behind this function is described in a case study by Jackisch et al. (in review at Biogeosciences).
For referencing to sap velocity measurements, a collection of conversion tools to estimate sap flow in the active sapwood is included.
