Content Summary:

Hand-drawn graph labelled "Fig. 6. Weight of roots in soil profile (Average of 4 plots)".

Data on root weights and surface areas including pages of numerical data and graph.

Numerical data on (inter alia) root weights and surface area at various soil depths. Includes some annotations.

Hand-drawn graphs labelled (with attached small pink card) "Graphs to show S.A./depth with extrapolated results".

Large graphs labelled (on small buff card) "Graphs of weights of roots in samples/depth: Average per hole".

Hand-drawn graphs labelled (on attached small pink card) "Graphs to show surf. Area/depth Actual (... Underestimation for middle samples)".

Bundle of data including table showing diameter and volume and graph showing surface area by weight, labelled at top "Euc + Pine S.A. Group 3".

Graphs labelled (on attached small pink card) "Graphs of av. Euc roots wt./depth av. Pine".

Graphs labelled (on attached small buff card) "Graphs to show surface area/weight in all Pine samples - all Euc samples: Group 3 graph used to extrapolate other … [illegible]".

Immediate source of acquisition:

This large and diverse collection was compiled by Alec Costin then organised and catalogued by the eScholarship Research Centre at The University of Melbourne from 2017-2019. The collection was then transferred to the National Library of Australia in 2020.
