Tree uprooting

<h2 id="purposes">Purposes</h2>
<h3>Transplanting</h3>
<p>Small trees can be replanted if their root system is well attached to the trunk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> Trees can suffer from <a href="/facts/Transplant_shock/7KP9QrXs">transplant shock</a> when moved to new environment, and that causes the tree not to be able to root itself properly.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a>
</p>
<h3>Ecosystem maintenance</h3>
<p>Uprooting can be an effective method for efforts to remove unwanted woody species from an ecosystem, e.g., in the context of <a href="/facts/Woody_plant_encroachment/36pSLXn9">woody plant encroachment</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a>
