Benchmarking electrical methods for rapid estimation of root biomass [PDF]
To face climate change and subsequent rainfall instabilities, crop breeding strategies now include root traits phenotyping. Rapid estimation of root traits in controlled conditions can be achieved by using parallel electrical capacitance and its linear correlation with root dry mass. The aim of the present study was to improve robustness and efficiency

First assessment of root biomass and root carbon and nitrogen stocks in Turkish floodplain forests
Estimation of whole root biomass including coarse and larger roots and root balls can provide better understanding of carbon and nitrogen stocks in floodplain forests. Whole root systems of nine ash trees (Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl.) and six alder trees (Alnus glutinosa L.) trees ranging in diameter breast height (dbh) from 29.1 to 72.0 cm for ash and

3D Ground Penetrating Radar to Detect Tree Roots and Estimate Root Biomass in the Field [PDF]
The objectives of this study were to detect coarse tree root and to estimate root biomass in the field by using an advanced 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (3D GPR) system. This study obtained full-resolution 3D imaging results of tree root system using 500 MHz and 800 MHz bow-tie antennas, respectively.

Plant roots and spectroscopic methods – analyzing species, biomass and vitality [PDF]
In order to understand plant functioning, plant community composition, and terrestrial biogeochemistry, it is decisive to study standing root biomass, (fine) root dynamics, and interactions belowground. While most plant taxa can be identified by visual criteria aboveground, roots show less distinctive features.
