	The root ingrowth method is beneficial for measuring the rate of growth for fine root hyphae (diameter <2 mm). It is very labor-intensive and one of the more controversial root sampling procedures.[[#10.\|[10]]] This is because (I) natural growth patterns can easily be altered chemically and physically, (II) current roots are injured, (III) growth starts after a period of delay, (IV) [[decomposition]] rates are not considered, and (V) artificial and low densities are recorded in the cores for the majority of the experiment.[[#17.\|[17]]]		The root ingrowth method is beneficial for measuring the rate of growth for fine root hyphae (diameter <2 mm).

	Minirhizotrons consist of a transparent tube that is sometimes designed with a reflective surface mounted to the inside of it. The tube is inserted in the root zone of the soil and a high-resolution, thin camera is drawn through the tube. Once inside, the camera provides clear, in situ root images which can then be further used for quantitative data analysis by converting two-dimensional image data into three-dimensional root biomass data.[[#8.\|[8]]] Minirhizotrons are similar to rhizotrons in that they allow for a close-up study of root systems growing without human interaction or destruction. The obtained images are used to examine root biomass growth and are greatly beneficial for analyzing restoration efforts. Minirhizotrons can monitor soil moisture, temperature, and water potential using tensiometers, time domain reflectometer probes, and matrix water potential sensors.[[#2.\|[2]]] Monitoring the [[Water Behavior in Soils]] is important along with root development because the two are so closely related...
