Digging at study site (VIDEO)

Caption

Lead author and recent University of Florida graduate Veronica Selden digs around a gopher tunnel so she can surround it with a 50-gallon drum. The drum prevents gopher interference long enough so Selden and co-author Jack Putz can measure how many roots grow back into the tunnel over time.
