acidrain: Acid rain and tree roots.

acidrainR Documentation

Acid rain and tree roots.

Description

Data from an experiment investigating the effect of acid rain on tree roots. Four lysimeters were assigned to control and acid treatment conditions. Fine tree roots were counted at eleven depths from cores sampled within six sectors in each lysimeter. Counts were made separately for each of seven types of mycorrhizas.
