Formation of Annual Ring Eccentricity in Coarse Roots within the Root Cage of <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> Growing on Slopes

Formation of Annual Ring Eccentricity in Coarse Roots within the Root Cage of <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> Growing on Slopes

The coarse roots of <i>Pinus ponderosa</i> included in the cage are the ones most involved in tree stability. This study explored the variations in traits, such as volume, cross-sectional area, and radius length of cage roots, and used those data to develop a mathematical model to better...
