Interesting points raised.

 

I've been reading "Tree Root Damage To Buildings" by P.G.Biddle.He records recovery of clay soils,post felling, that cause severe sructural damage to buildings.I am now wondering how a neighbouring tree root system would respond to being lifted by the same magnitude.

 

Tree root damage to trees?

 

Locally ,I have also been watching tree damage caused by new a building creating a vortex that the trees cannot adapt to quickly enough.

Had the tech cert "soils" lecture on friday, quite interesting If a little heavy going. Any way I recon that you're theory could be spot on Dean I know sycamores hate "wet feet" and the poplar probably was taking considerable amounts of water out of the soil. I've never noticed this before but then there's very little clay round here.
