A soil–plant–atmosphere continuum model reflecting the responses of plant hydraulic resistance to waterlogging

• A root water uptake model with waterlogging effects on root hydraulics was built. • The model effectively estimated plant hydraulic conductance and transpiration. • The model improved estimation accuracy, especially after prolonged waterlogging. • Transpiration was controlled by root hydraulics under moderate evaporative demand. In humid regions, intensive and intermittent precipitation has increased due to climate change, resulting in frequent waterlogging. Although waterlogging severely impe
