Abstract/Contents:Newman (1966) derived a formula R=(pi)NA/2H for estimating the total length of root in an extracted sample. Root length(R) was measured by counting the number of intercepts (N) of roots in a regular area (A) with randomly located and oriented lines of total length (H). In principle, the longer the root, the more intercepts it made with the randomly arranged lines.
