Table 1.
The maximum biomass and water uptake of monocot and dicot estimated for a single plant (Iso) of two different species – monocot (cereal) and dicot (legume) –, or two plants of the same species (Intra), or two plants of different species (Inter). The impact of water limitation was evaluated by running the coupled model with β parameterisation scheme 1 turned on (Isoβ, Intraβ, and Interβ).
