Foxx TS, Tierney GD, Williams JM. 1984. Rooting Depths of Plants on Low-Level Waste Disposal Sites. LA-10253-MS. Los Alamos National Laboratory. Los Alamos, NM
Data from an earlier bibliographic study on rooting depths of native US plants was analyzed to determine the rooting depths of plants found on low-level wastes sites at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM. Average rooting depths and ranges of rooting depths are listed for 53 species of plants. A brief ecological description for each plant is also present.
