Fractal and Multifractal Analysis of Cassava Root System Grown by the Root-Box Method

The root system development and its localized distribution were examined using cassava plants grown in narrow root boxes of appropriate sizes which were adjusted to the root growth. Analyses based on fractal geometry were applied in addition to measurements of the weight and length of the root syste...
