The effects of restricted volumes of soil on the growth and development of street trees.

Kopinga, L. (1991).

Journal of Arboriculture, 17(57–63).

In many urban situations, the amount of soil available for the root growth of a street tree leaves much to be desired. Generally, the lateral spread of the root system is restricted by high soil density, which makes penetration by the tree roots nearly impossible. The study takes up different examples and studies their impact on them and does a comparative analysis.
