Where the underlying rocks afford nutritious materials, the branches of our tap-rooted trees sometimes find their way ten feet or more below the base of the true soil. ❋ Nathaniel Southgate Shaler (1873)
Thus in the forest condition of a country the amount of rock material contributed to the deposit in general so far exceeds that which is taken away to the rivers by the underground water as to insure the deepening of the soil bed to the point where only the strongest roots -- those belonging to our tap-rooted trees -- can penetrate through it to the bed rocks. ❋ Nathaniel Southgate Shaler (1873)
