Impact on Property Protection
Tree roots can cause a range of problems, including:
- Soil erosion and landslides, leading to property damage and displacement of vegetation.
- Riparian zone invasions, where tree roots clog waterways and harm aquatic life.
- Afforestation and reforestation issues, as new trees may not adapt well to the local ecosystem.
Moreover, tree roots can also pose a significant risk to property values. For example, a study by the National Association of Home Builders found that 1 in 5 homes in the United States have structural damage caused by tree roots.
