Application of Electrical Resistivity Tomography for Detecting Root Biomass in Coffee Trees

Roots play an important role in plants and are responsible for several functions; among them are anchorage and nutrient and water absorption. Several methodologies are being tested and used to study plant root systems in order to avoid destructive root sampling. Electrical resistivity tomography is...
