Shoot and root growth of three tree species in sidewalks

Reference Type
Journal, Research (Article)

Three tree species (Tilia cordata Mill. 'Olympic', Acer campestre L., and Malus sp. Mill. 'Adirondack') were grown in a standard sidewalk pavement profile, an experimental sidewalk profile (SSM), and in the field. Root systems in the paved treatments were harvested after three years to analyze root length, root density, and profile distribution...The results indicate several advantages in root and canopy growth for street trees grown in the experimental profile compared to the standard sidewalk pavement profile.
