Lead Author: Forestry Commission
This bulletin contains an account of investigations on the roots of young trees carried out over a series of years for the Forestry Commission by Dr. E. V. Laing of the Department of Forestry, Aberdeen University. Special attention has been paid to the association of fungi (mycorrhiza) with roots and to the development and action of roots in peat soils. Both these questions are of great importance in afforestation operations in Great Britain.
