Popis: Ground penetrating radar (GPR) operated in reflection mode may be used to estimate lateral root biomass in forests. The technique has been very useful for quantifying belowground biomass and accounting for carbon in silivicultural studies. In general, surface-based GPR cannot detect fine roots (
