Sep 1, 2025September 2025: Delivered an MPI-based coupled soil–plant water transport demonstration in Plant-Root-Soil-Interactions-Modelling/CPlantBox. The new example script couples a Richards-Spannkoeff soil model with a Doussan root hydraulic model to simulate water transport and transpiration over time, with integrated visualization of results. This provides a scalable end-to-end reference for researchers and enables performance benchmarking on multi-core HPC systems, accelerating adoption and reproducibility.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary for Plant-Root-Soil-Interactions-Modelling/CPlantBox. Delivered two major features that enhance usability and modeling capability: (1) Enhanced visualization, logging, and progress feedback for plant and rhizosphere simulations, including updated units/labels, dual y-axes for actual vs cumulative transpiration, and improved simulation progress indicators; commits d894cd6ae4bb6c2bcf32811091fe8149e9edbbf8 and cffbb3a05a0c897be97391bded31f8b335b88f6f. (2) Maize crop parameterization support via a dedicated maize parameter file to enable maize simulations; commit e5224037e4b8a145ed9480f9c1e4025e601dd087. No explicit major bugs fixed are recorded in this data set; stability improvements are embedded within the feature work. Overall, these changes improve data interpretation, accelerate experimental turnaround, and broaden modeling capabilities for maize. Technologies/skills demonstrated include visualization and logging enhancements, domain-specific parameterization, and disciplined version control with descriptive commits.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025: Delivered Root Citrate Exudation Simulation with Visualization for CPlantBox. Added a Python script to simulate citrate exudation around a growing root system, including root setup, configurable grid parameters, exudation model parameters, concentration computation, and visualization via contour plots and 3D VTK. This enhancement expands the modeling toolkit for root–soil interactions and enables researchers to run parameterized experiments with immediate visual feedback. The work is linked to commit 05c623c17a8bb248184a809979f6656181c86565 ("example_exudation").
