At age 5 years the mean root biomass, for all species combined, was 1.2 kg/plant, and averaged ~23% of total plant biomass. Changes in the allocation of biomass for root and shoot growth appear t

The energy (E.) required to break oruproot a tree was then calculated. Most Silver fir trees failed in the stem and Norway spruce usually failed through

Overturning resistance was greatest in heart- and tap-root systems whatever the soil type. However, the heart root system was more resistant on clay-li
