the flow path between these two points.
We currently assuming an arithmetic
mean for mean K_sat between the two points (Bonan, 2019; Zhu, 2008)
to take into account the change in K_sat halfway
between z1 and z2; this is incorrect for compartments of differing sizes.
We currently assuming an geometric
mean for mean K_sat between the two points. Previously,
we used the arithmetic mean (Bonan, 2019; Zhu, 2008),
but then when the soil K was very low, root extraction would
continue. This should be modified for compartments of differing sizes.
