The term "root" is commonly used apropos of nappe. However, it is also one of the most difficult terms to define objectively. The root is the zone from which a nappe arises, but according to the idea formed of the kinetics of the overthrust, it may correspond to different dispositions, such as a continuous passage to a normal sedimentary cover or a vertical plunge to great depth. 2, record 3, English, - root

Le terme «racine» est un des plus employés à propos des nappes, et un de ceux dont il est le plus difficile de donner une définition objective. La racine est la région par laquelle une nappe se rattache aux terrains en place, non chevauchants, mais suivant l'idée que l'on se fait de la cinématique du chevauchement, elle peut correspondre à des dispositions différentes : passage continu à une couverture sédimentaire normale, plongée à la verticale en profondeur, etc. 2, record 3, French, - racine

Choose a tree with a good strong root system, that is, with a healthy main root and many fine feeder roots. Being able to see the roots is the main advantage of buying bareroot!... It's very important to keep the roots of bareroot stock moist. Soaking the roots in a bucket of water for an hour before planting is an excellent idea. After this soaking, handle the tree quickly so it doesn’t dry out, especially if it's a windy day. Any bareroot stock bought before you’ve prepared a planting area should be heeled into a moist planting medium. Sawdust works well for this because you can lift the plant out easily, with minimal damage to roots. 1, record 4, English, - bareroot%20stock
