Profiles in the trench at the encroached site, at locations approximately 5 m apart and equally distant from the canopy dripline, in (a) an intercanopy zone and (b) a canopy zone. The knife is 20 cm long. (c) A 5-mm-thick root growing directly through the weathered limestone matrix. (d) Petrocalcic fragments between the Cr1 and Cr2 layers. (e) Wide fracture, filled with soil and woody roots, in the Cr2 layer. (f) Termite tunnels in the Cr2 layer.
