If anyone is interested, I have several more papers that were written on
different aspects of the root studies.

While thumbing through the April NSS News (conservation issue), I came
across an article about tree roots in lava tubes in New Mexico. One of the
references in that article caught my eye: “Ecosystem rooting depth determined
with caves and DNA” by R. B. Jackson, et al. Several Texas cavers, myself
included, helped Jackson collect roots in caves in Texas back in the ‘90s. He
was especially interested in how deep underground one might find roots invading
a cave. I took him to a place pretty far back in the TB survey in Honey Creek
Cave where there were a lot of roots coming through cracks in the ceiling. He
collected samples and did DNA analysis to find out what kinds of trees the
roots came from. He also collected in Powell’s Cave, among others. I had not
seen the results of his research before. If anyone is interested, the article
is available for free download at <https://www.pnas.org/content/96/20/11387>.
