RE: Getting to The Root of The Problem - official contest entry
I remember that when I lived in the Kulu Valley of Himichal Pradesh some of the trees were considered quite sacred.
As to your question about space around trees for the roots to breathe, I'm afraid that I don't know the answer. But I think trees breathe through their leaves, not roots. As long as the roots have the moisture and nutrients in the soil beneath the pavement that they require, i suppose that they will be allright.
Yes , In India many trees are considered sacred. :) ... In fact, every second or third thing in India is God Sacred !! ;) ... It is good and it is bad. India is incomprehensible :) :D
And I yes, you are correct, @onceuponatime. Yes trees do breathe through their leaves . :) ...
I hope concrete pavements and roads do not weaken the roots. Just something I read somewhere :)
