Abstract

Aims In agroforestry systems, root activity of trees may either reduce nutrient leaching beneath neighboring crops or compete with them. A previous study reveals high chloride (Cl) accumulation in the soil under a bottomland oak hedgerow in western France. Our study tests whether Cl can be used as an indicator of the spatial extent of tree root activity.
