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. Not Available |
