Root research under natural field conditions is still a step-child
of science. The reason for this is primarily methodological. The
known methods are tedious, time consuming, and the accuracy of
their results is often not very great. Many research workers have
been discouraged by doing such root studies. The need for more
information on the development and distribution of plant roots in
different soils under various ecological conditions is, however,
obvious in many ecological disciplines. Especially the applied
botanical sciences such as agriculture, horticulture, and forestry
are interested in obtaining more data on plant roots in the soil.
This book will give a survey of existing methods in ecological root
research. Primarily field methods are presented; techniques for pot
experiments are described only so far as they are important for
solving ecological problems. Laboratory methods for studying root
physiology are not covered in this book. Scientific publications on
roots are scattered in many different journals published all over
the world. By working through the international root literature I
found that about ten thousand papers on root ecology have been
published at the present. This is not very much compared with the
immense literature on the aboveground parts of the plants, but is,
however, too much to cite in this book."
