Abstract
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a nondestructive means of detecting buried objects with electromagnetic waves. It has been applied to detect coarse woody roots, estimate biomass, root diameter, and spatial distribution of roots. This chapter discusses the development of root assessment techniques, basic methodology, and examples of field applications where GPR was successful.
