Mapping tree root systems with ground-penetrating radar

Original language description

A ground penetrating radar (GPR) technique wap applied to study three-dimensional distribution of root systems of large (DBH = 14 to 35 cm) oak trees (Quercus petraea (Mattusch.)Liebl.) in relatively dry luvisoil on loamy deluvium and weathered granodiorite. We used a pulse EKKO 1000 GPR system, a profile grid of 0.25 to 0.25 meters, at 0.05 m intervals and a signal frequency of 450 MHz, to assure resolution of about 3 cm in both directions (further increases resolution up to 1 cm are possible with thegiven system). Coarse root density was 6.5 m m-2 of stand area and 3.3 m m-3 of soil volume. Maximum rooting depth of the experimental oaks was 2 m, with root ground plan significantly (about 1.5 times) larger than crown ground plan (in contrast to Quercus robur L. from floodplain forests, where the extent of root systems is much smaller, reaching the above portion of only 0.6), we conclude that the high root ground plan:crown ground plan ratio indicat
