Aerial Roots for urban spaces

Watch this space: Page in development

Aerial roots are essential to plants growing in diverse ecological niches. They help plants climb from ground up trunks, survive in the canopy as epiphytes or stretch their roots down to the ground as hemi-epiphytes. Little is known about the physiology of these fascinating and diverse root types despite many plants selected for urban greenspace also depending on them. Understanding the physiology of stem-root types will improve urban greenspace management, enhancing plant diversity in city-scapes with flow-on implications for wider biodiversity and improving mental health.
