Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of planting structures, and particularly relates to a root box for dynamically observing the roots of forest trees. Background Art

[0002] In the field of forest tree research, in some cases, it is necessary to study the mutual interference between adjacent forest trees during the root growth process. The existing observation methods mainly involve planting two forest trees in the same container simultaneously and comparing their root growth conditions with those of forest trees planted independently. However, there are certain errors in this comparison method. Since there are certain differences in different forest trees themselves, even forest trees of the same variety cannot ensure the same growth conditions. Therefore, there are relatively large errors in the forest tree root interference test using this method. At the same time, it is very difficult to observe the roots. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of the above technical problems, the utility model provides a root box for dynamically observing the roots of forest trees to solve the problems of difficult root observation and test errors in the existing forest tree root interference test. The root box for dynamically observing the roots of forest trees can directly observe the root growth conditions and simultaneously reflect the root differences between the self-growth area and the competition area in the same transparent root box.

[0004] The utility model provides a root box for dynamically observing the roots of forest trees, which comprises a transparent root box and an inclined support frame. The transparent root box comprises a transparent box body, a first partition board, a second partition board, a first planting basket and a second planting basket. The transparent box body is a rectangular box body with an open top. The first partition board and the second partition board are both vertically arranged in the transparent box body. The first partition board and the second partition board are spaced horizontally. The transparent box body is partitioned by the first partition board and the second partition board to form a first self-growth area, a competition area and a second self-growth area arranged in sequence horizontally. The tops of the first partition board and the second partition board are both lower than the top of the transparent box body. The first planting basket is located on the top of the first partition board. First root-penetrating holes are formed on both sides of the bottom of the first planting basket through the first partition board. The second planting basket is located on the top of the second partition board. Second root-penetrating holes are formed on both sides of the bottom of the second planting basket through the second partition board. The transparent root box is inclined and arranged on the inclined support frame, and the surface with the largest area of the transparent root box is exposed.

[0005] Furthermore, a plurality of first water-permeable holes are formed at the bottom of the transparent root box, a plurality of second water-permeable holes are formed on the first partition board, and a plurality of third water-permeable holes are formed on the second partition board.

[0006] Furthermore, the inclined support frame includes a first inclined rod, a second inclined rod and a base, the first inclined rod and the second inclined rod are parallel to each other and inclinedly arranged on the base, and the two sides of the surface with the largest area of ​​the transparent root box are respectively abutted against the first inclined rod and the second inclined rod.

[0007] When the tree root system dynamic observation root box is used for planting trees and observing the root system, two tree seedlings can be planted in the first planting basket and the second planting basket respectively. During the growth of the trees, the roots will grow to both sides of the first partition plate or the second partition plate, so that the growth of the roots without interference can be observed in the first self-growth zone and the second self-growth zone respectively, and the growth of the roots when interfering with each other can be observed in the competition zone, so that the observation results are more referenceable. The present application places the transparent root box on an inclined support frame, so that the surface with the largest area is inclined, and the roots can easily grow on the surface with the largest area, so that the root growth can be directly observed from the bottom surface with the largest area without causing damage to the trees.
