Roots growing under barrier-barrier removed
Roots
are shown growing under the barrier. The trees were about 3 feet to
the left and upper edge of the photograph. The barrier was removed.
The three roots marked with arrows reached the barrier, grew under it,
and then grew up toward the soil surface.
Most of the other roots in
this photo grew up at a shallower angle. The next photo will show the
entire view of the root system. The water table in this site fluctuated
between 12 and 48 inches under the surface during the year.
