Natural root grafting has been seldom studied since the 1960's in North America. It was however observed to occur in a lot of tree species, and possibly in all species for which roots have been specifically examined. Root grafting is often viewed as a natural oddity, and its implication in forest ecology and management has been generally disregarded, although most will agree that root connections have great eco-physiological significance.

自20世纪60年代以来，在北美很少对自然嫁接进行研究。然而，它被观察到发生在许多树种中，并且可能发生在所有专门研究过树根的树种中。根嫁接通常被认为是一种自然奇事，它在森林生态和管理中的意义通常被忽视，尽管大多数人会同意根连接具有重要的生态生理意义。
