The project aims at the development of an electrical structural-functional soil-root model for the simulation of electrical impedance signatures measured in spectral electrical impedance tomography (sEIT) on soil-root systems. The model will be used for scenario analyses to identify root structural and functional phenes in sEIT signals. The project in particular contributes to PhenoRob’s Core Projects CP4 (“Soil-Root-Interactions for Crop Performance”) and CP6 (“Fusing Information from Sensing and Modeling Across Spatio-Temporal Scales”). The project is supervised by Prof. Andreas Kemna (University of Bonn) and Prof. Andrea Schnepf (Forschungszentrum Jülich).
