A Technique for Making Thin Sections of Soil with Roots in Place
1965
Lund, Z. F. | Beals, H. O.
A short dehydration series was combined with a plasti-embedding technique to study cotton roots in place. This was an effort to see if there was much particle orientation at the root surface-soil interface. A limited number of sections failed to show much orientation but did show a packing effect. The use of colored plastic was investigated. It greatly facilitates thin section work as it makes identification of pore space much easier.
