Abstract : We consider a vegetation root-soil model which couples Richards PDE in the soil domain and saturated flow in the roots domain. Scenarios when the flow depends on soil temperature is included. A mixed finite element method is applied to obtain numerical solutions, and the well-posedness for its weak formulation and error estimates are studied. We provide numerical examples using tomography data of root domains and study convergence errors to validate our theoretical results.
