root weight distribution

[liu-13]

I would like to know where I can obtain the root weight distribution in the Noah-mp model. Alternatively, I could calculate it using the maximum root depth and root density decay coefficient, but where can I find these two parameters?

Noah-MP assumes the same weights for roots in each soil layer. The root depth is determined by the NROOT parameter (number of soil layers that have roots) in NoahmpTable.TBL. Currently, the model does not use root density. It uses a very simple soil hydraulics scheme without root dynamics.
