Description

Excavation and measurement of root systems to develop allometric relationships between aboveground and belowground plant dimensions. Used to estimate below-ground spatial extent from above-ground measurements.

Typical Equipment

• excavation tools

Output Measurements

• root system diameter
• allometric scaling factors
