Observations of 'coarse' root development in young trees of nine exotic species from a New Zealand plot trial

Assesses above- and below-ground growth of nine exotic tree species, planted in a randomised block field trial, for their potential for future 'erosion control forests'. Focuses on their total root length of all roots > 1 mm in diameter, lateral root spread, and total root biomass. Sour...
