To constrain root growth, identification of soil attributes that limit growth is required. By understanding what soil conditions limit growth, various tools and techniques can be used to stop, redirect, or slow tree root elongation. Tree-literacy incorporates soil and tree health into a single concept for quality management.

Generally, compaction associated physiological dysfunctions cause systemic damage and decline, as well as failures in dealing with additional environ- mental changes. Physical / mechanical constraints negatively modify responses in the tree resulting in inefficient use of essential resources. The symptoms we see in trees under compacted soil conditions have causes stemming from disruptions of the internal sense, communication, and response process.
