Tree Root Systems in Eastern Nebraska (CB-37)

Sprackling, J. A., Read, R. A., reprinted 1979. Tree Root Systems in Eastern Nebraska (CB-37) 73 pp., size 5.5" x 8.75". Description: The Conservation and Survey Division conducted an intensive study of tree roots in the eastern half of Nebraska during the years 1939 to 1941. The illustrations should enable the reader to compare root distribution systems of major tree and shrub species growing under different soil-moisture conditions in eastern Nebraska. About two-thirds of these are native species; the remainder are well adapted introductions. Root distribution characteristics contributing to drought-hardiness are noted.
