Sentence examples for maximum root spread from inspiring English sources

Below-ground growth measurements included maximum root depth and maximum root spread, hereafter referred to as root depth and root spread.

The two datasets exhibit considerable differences with the pipe coefficient, the root distribution exponent, and the maximum root spread coefficient in particular.

Maximum root spread did not differ among seed lots in the first 3 years, but in year 4, GF16S trees had a greater (P = 0.041) maximum root spread than did GF28C trees but was the same as trees from seed lot GF27S.

The mean maximum root spread (diameter) for all seed lots increased significantly (P = 0.05) in each year of the trial reaching a maximum of 6.04 m in year 4 (SE = 0.18) (Additional file 10).

The mean maximum root spread for each trialled species shows a similar pattern to that for total root length > 1 mm, with alder (7.7 m), blackwood (6.9 m) and cypress (5.6 m) having the greatest lateral root spread.

The 'Tangoio' pole measured in this study had the maximum root spread of 11 m after approximately 270 days after planting, equating to an average daily growth rate of about 20 mm per day.

Root spread was taken as the average of the maximum lateral root spread diameter measured in two directions (N S and E W).

One of the most important and difficult to measure parameters of a tree's root distribution is the maximum lateral root spread.

From this, a maximum lateral root spread of 4.2 m was obtained, which means that no roots are expected to cross soil trenches at the middle distance between trees with density lower than 160 sph.

Analogously, the calculated maximum lateral root spread of 13.3 m for the 2-year-old poplar of the G dataset is comparable to the values reported in Phillips et al. (2014) for growth of another 'Veronese' poplar at the G field site.
