Root architecture and tree stability - M P Coutts

[Gary Prentice]

Has anyone got a copy of the article 'Root architecture and tree stability' - 1983, written by M P Coutts.

 

As I'm not sure it contains the information I need, I don't fancy spending £30.00 on purchasing it from Springer:sneaky2: I'd rather give someone on here something for it:biggrin:

Looking for some help or pointers finding any references to the potential for, and possible impact of reclaimed land "settling" after landscaping works on former landfill sites.

 

It looks like a great deal of research was conducted into the suitability of former landfill sites for tree planting. It would appear that the research focussed predominantly upon the site preparation to ensure a rooting environment that was suitable for tree growth, appropriate tree species and the potential risk of tree roots penetrating the infill ‘cap’ and releasing contaminants. I can find no info which explores the potential for land to ‘settle’ after remedial works and which might suggest a delay between landscaping and tree planting (to allow for settlement) might have been appropriate.

 

Anyone been down this route before?

From the little that I've read, I can't remember settlement being a significant problem or even being particularly mentioned. Sorry, that's not much health.
