Plant Water Uptake Thresholds Inferred From Satellite Soil Moisture

Abstract

Empirical functions are widely used in hydrological, agricultural, and Earth system models to parameterize plant water uptake. We infer soil water potentials at which uptake is downregulated from its well-watered rate and at which uptake ceases, in biomes with
