Soils cores were sampled down to a depth of 13.5 m under 4 eucalypt genotypes 2 years after planting.
Fine root densities were roughly constant between the depths of 0.25 and 6 m for all the genotypes.
The depth of the root front ranged from 8.0 m to 11.5 m depending on the genotype.
The root area: leaf area ratio ranged from 1.3 to 3.2 and was the highest for the genotypes with the lowest LAI.
