I'm facing problem when I'm looking for information about the wooden tree roots such as willow, oak and and other wooden trunk tree as average length of root canopy.
Riparian trees develop high conductive and dense roots, shorter than the corresponding upland forms. This can be true for Juglans spp, and makes riparians good for irrigation orchards. Soil holding at the step is often due to spontaneous root grafts between neighbour trees
thanks for your answering Mr Bongi, actually I need some information about the lateral extent of tree roots is there any available book for that online.
You can try with Simon and Collison methods and refs in http://pubag.nal.usda.gov/pubag/downloadPDF.xhtml?id=4031&content=PDF, but often root extent is a coniinous frame. River hydrology draws out all free soil during floods.
