Root architecture of 12-years old Mopane
(Colophospermum mopane) along a soil depth gradient
of up to 2.5 m was studied with a focus to record the
belowground development and biomass production. In
the study, the rooting pattern of C. mopane indicated that
> 70% roots were confined to upper 60 cm soil layer. The
root spread was 2.48 fold higher than the crown spread.
The angles of primary roots were more than 66o. The
total root biomass varied from 5.13 kg to 13.80 kg and
average root: shoot ratio was 0.20. The inferences of the
results have been discussed in the context of the
ecological niche of the species, and its usefulness in
agroforestry systems.
