Sentence examples for root plate from inspiring English sources

Factors that affected tree stability included cross-sectional area of the roots and root plate area.

Once trees begin to reach this critical dbh for root plate upheaval, a period of sporadic root throw arises that is caused by mortality of trees during competition.

As the forest regenerates after disturbance, the new cohort of trees has to reach a critical dbh before significant root plate upheaval can occur; in the subalpine forests of the Canadian Rockies, this may take up to ~ 102 years.

In addition, we carried out a sensitivity analysis and discussed sources of uncertainties which may reach up to 112%, mainly due to difficulties to determine the rotational stiffness of the root plate system a posteriori.

Therefore, a root plate still attached to a long dead fallen tree is usually indicative of prior windthrown mortality, while an in situ root plate, separated from the stem-base, invariably means that toppling occurred after death.

This is because the root plate is extremely well attached to the stem-base in living individuals, but the strength of this bond diminishes subsequent to mortality.

Generally, thicker root plates (i.e. the vertical rooting extent) which tap deeper water sources in well drained soils provide a greater resistive force against shearing [ 30].

At Okiwa, the bilateral fan-shaped architecture of the root systems of P. radiata has likely been influenced by exposure to the predominantly northerly winds as an adaptation to improve the rigidity of the soil-root plate and counteract their vulnerability to wind throw.

Regenerated shoots were then rooted on a rooting plate containing half-strength MS salts, 3% (w/v) sucrose, 0.8% (w/v) agar, 50 mg/l Meropen (pH 5.8).

According to multi-level logistic regression models, their incidence depended on every mound-scale variable tested: there were independent positive effects of root-plate area and treefall age, spruce treefall, and the absence of exposed pit.

We used a mechanical root-plate rotational stiffness model in three gauged river reaches in Central Spain to test our hypothesis and combine approaches typically applied in dendrogeomorphic, dendrometric, mechanical structure, and hydraulic research.
