Raising the soil grade, frequently required during building construction, is thought to damage trees and is of concern to foresters responsible for tree protection on such sites. (The authors) investigated the effects of applying fill over the roots of 22-year-old white oaks (Quercus alba L.) and 13-year-old sweetgums (Liquidambar styraciflua L.). Treatments included a control (no fill), fill (sandy loam C horizon soil spread 20 cm deep), and compacted fill (same as fill but compacted.). [UMN]
