Review Summary: Plant roots: The Hidden Half
Date: 2008-12-27
Details: For all plant specialists and plant care practitioners,
including those in the tree care industry or even managers of
vegetation inhabited landscapes this text is a must read. It
equips one with the tools necessary to argue, defend and educate
all on matters pertaining to plant root zone understanding and
protection. Despite its hefty price (and no accompanying CD) it
is indeed a worthwhile expense for far insights to a long
neglected area of the plant sciences.
