This publication comprises the proceedings of the first
International Conference devoted to the structural roots of trees
and woody plants. 'The Supporting Roots - Structure and Function, '
20-24 July 1998, Bordeaux, France. The meeting was held under the
auspices ofIUFRO WPS 2. 01. 13 'Root Physiology and Symbiosis, '
and its aim was to bring together scientific researchers, foresters
and arboriculturalists, to discuss current problems in structural
root research and disseminate knowledge to an audience from a wide
disciplinary background. For the first time in an international
conference, emphasis was placed on presenting recent reseach in the
field of tree anchorage mechanics and root biomechanics. The way in
which tree stability can be affected by root system symmetry and
architecture was addressed, as well as how movement during wind
sway can influence the development and shape of woody roots. The
role of different nursery and planting techniques was discussed, in
relation to effects on root system form and development. Root
response to different environmental stresses, including water,
temperature, nutrient and mechanical stress was addressed in
detail. The structure and function of woody roots was also
considered at different levels, from coarse to fine roots, with
several papers discussing the interaction between roots and the
rhizosphere. One of the conference highlights was the presentation
of new methods in root research, by a series of workshops held at
LRBB-INRA, Pierroton, on the northern border of the Gascony forest.
