Popis:	Factors that influence rooting patterns in mature forest stands are poorly understood. We examined the distribution of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) roots in trench profiles and related rooting to selected soil physical features along a moisture gradient on the Clemson University Experimental Forest, Clemson, SC. Root density was greater on xeric and subxeric sites than on intermediate sites. Root density declined exponentially with soit depth. Fine roots (
