Abstract

Aims Tree roots in forest soils can be detected using nondestructive ground-penetrating radar (GPR). However, few studies have investigated root detection frequency; i.e., how many and which roots are identified in a radar profile out of the total quantity of roots present in a forest stand. The objective of this study was to quantify root detection frequency and uncertainty, including relationships between root detection and radar parameters using 1.5 GHz GPR in a Pinus thunbergii forest on sandy soils.
