Abstract Water potential explains water transport in the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum (SPAC), and is gaining interest as connecting variable between ‘pedo-, bio- atmosphere’. It primarily used to simulate hydraulics SPAC, thus essential for studying drought effects. Recent implementations of large-scale terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) improved their performance under water-limited condit...

This model was introduced by Mr. Masters and Mrs. Johnsons for the first time and then completed by Mrs. Kaplan. At that time, this classification was so practical and valuable for understanding sexual response and thereupon defining sexual dysfunctions, even being still used as a cri...
