Article Figures & Data
Figures
- Figure 1.
Vertical soil profile variability showing locations of potential lithologic discontinuities or interfaces.
- Figure 2.
Spatial variability illustrated by a hypothetical fill site. Adapted from Kays (8).
- Figure 3.
The tree pit and ball showing location of interfaces (I). Contrasts in texture will create water movement and rooting problems.
