What are the commonly used deep-rooted and shallow-rooted plants?

Deep-rooted plants are: Ailanthus altissima, Walnut, Mango, Fraxinus mandshurica, Camphor Tree, Ailanthus altissima, Cinnamomum cassia, Pistacia chinensis, Fraxinus mandshurica, Pinus bungeana, Kapok, Fatong, Juglans mandshurica, Catalpa bungeana, Ginkgo biloba and Elm.

According to the distribution (depth and breadth) of roots in soil, roots are usually divided into deep roots and shallow roots. Most taproots are deep roots, and their taproots are developed. The root system can penetrate into the soil for 3-5m, even exceeding 10m.

Fibrous roots are mostly shallow roots, usually the main roots grow for a short time, the lateral roots and adventitious roots are developed, and the lateral advantage is 6-8cm, mainly growing in the soil surface. For example, the roots of some cactus plants are only 6-8cm deep in the soil, but their horizontal length can reach several meters, which can better absorb the rain that falls to the surface in a short time. Shallow-rooted plants include: Podocarpus, Coral Tree, Palm, Gardenia, Sophora japonica, Bauhinia, Lagerstroemia indica, Magnolia grandiflora, Rhododendron, Peony, Camellia, Rose, Orange, Kumquat, Canna, Celosia cristata, Grape, Wisteria, Ivy and Cherry.

Brief introduction of root system

The sum of the main root, all lateral roots and all adventitious roots from the stem base and deep into the soil is called root system. ? [7] Roots can be divided into three categories:

1) deep root system: the main root system is developed and there are many lateral roots, but the whole root system is distributed in deep soil. Figure 2.70 root system 1. Deep root system 2, shallow root system 3, fibrous root system, such as the roots of Pinus massoniana and walnut.

2) Shallow root system: the main root is underdeveloped, the lateral roots or adventitious roots extend along the horizontal axis below the ground, and the whole root system is distributed in the upper soil, such as the roots of spruce, willow and locust.
