Number of root tips: the total number of root tips, equal to the number of termination points
Range: 0-1,000 Accuracy: error <5% Root system length: total root system length, including main root and secondary roots Range: 0-10,000 mm Accuracy: error <3.65% Average diameter: the average diameter of the root system Range: 0-20 mm Accuracy: error <0.04% Projected area: the projected area of the root system as a whole Range: 0-200,000 mm2 Accuracy: error <4.02% Surface area: the overall surface area Range: 0-1,000,000 mm2 Accuracy: error <3.75% Volume: overall volume Range: 0-2,000,000,000 mm3 Accuracy: error <3.82% |
Topological analysis parameters (requires relatively complete root system)
