摘要 当前的调查极大地记录了城市树木挣扎和垂死的困境。土壤生根量不足是造成这种过早死亡的重要原因。土壤就像一个重要的水库,储存水分,然后根据树木的需要提供水分。已经开发出一种基于天气的方法,使树木栽培者能够根据树木每日预期的需水量来确定树坑或容器的尺寸,从而减少或消除生长季节的水分压力。作为一般估计,建议中型树的土壤体积为 5 立方米。
Summary Current surveys have dramatically documented the plight of struggling and dying urban trees. Inadequate soil rooting volume is an important cause of this premature mortality. The soil acts as a vital reservoir, holding and then supplying water as the tree demands it. A weather-based methodology has been developed that enables the arboriculturist to size a tree pit or container based on a tree's daily expected water requirements, thereby reducing or eliminating water stress over a growing season. For use as a general estimate, a soil volume of 5 m3 for a medium sized tree is recommended.
