GPR Data: Overhead View of Transects Depth range (corrected): 41” – 72” Toe Tree Levee Slope T. Mucciardi
TAKE HOME MESSAGES 1. Roots could be growing under the Mayhew levee, from nearby trees. 2. However, roots avoided well-compacted fill: keyhole trenches, slurry walls, deep protection trenches may be effective. 3. There are many unanswered questions. We need more information, combining trench excavation, GPR and other methods, to determine the real picture of roots and levees. 4. Biomechanical & root-shoot considerations: Pruning to control crown symmetry and size could reduce risk of root damage considerably.
