Fibrous root systems
Q. Can tree roots cause erosion?
Exposed, large woody roots are not a problem, but the broad exposure of smaller feeder roots can cause trouble and indicates a severe erosion problem. Different trees can tolerate different levels of root-soil cover. Two to three inches of soil over the layer of smaller roots should be enough.
